Gravesend Care Services

Gravesend Care Services is a home care agency based in Gravesend, in the Kent council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Gravesend office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Sanctuary Care, which has 11 branches in England. The agency has been registered since May 2016.

At its latest inspection, published September 2026, the CQC rated Gravesend Care Services Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Gravesend Care Services has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Kent with a rate on record typically charge about £25.50 an hour and £1,375 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 383 registered home care agencies in Kent. Others working the same area include Vitality Home Health Gravesham & Dartford, Penny Care Limited and Longfield Integrated Care Centre, 2 of which have a rate on record.
