It is run by Liberty Lodge. The agency has been registered since April 2012.

At its latest inspection, published August 2019, the CQC rated Liberty Lodge Limited Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Liberty Lodge Limited 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 Expertise Homecare (South East Coast), Folkestone Home Care and Papillon Home Care. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care typically about £1,120 a week across England.
