Greenwich and North Kent

Greenwich and North Kent is a home care agency based in Dartford, 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 Dartford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, 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 Cera Care, which has 114 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2011.

At its latest inspection, published January 2021, the CQC rated Greenwich and North Kent 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.

Greenwich and North Kent 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.
