This approach supports quality, safety and continuity of care.
Our published rates apply to people arranging their own care. If your care is arranged or supported through Kent County Council (KCC), the Council will carry out a means-tested financial assessment to decide how much you personally contribute.
| Savings / Capital | KCC Assessment Outcome |
|---|---|
| Over £23,250 | You usually pay the full cost of care. |
| £14,250 – £23,250 | KCC applies a “tariff income”. |
| Below £14,250 | You normally pay only from your income after essential expenses. |
KCC also considers Disability-Related Expenditure (DRE) — extra costs directly due to a health condition or disability — which may reduce your assessed charge.
While your financial assessment is in progress, charges may be provisional and later adjusted or backdated once confirmed. We strongly encourage clients to request a financial assessment from KCC before arranging ongoing care, so that any reduction can be applied correctly.
If your care is arranged or funded through Kent County Council or NHS Continuing Healthcare, your personal contribution will be based on a financial assessment carried out by the relevant authority. We are happy to guide families through the options and explain how the process works.
1. Private / Self-Funded Care
We provide a transparent service agreement with straightforward weekly or monthly invoicing — no hidden fees or unexpected costs.
2. Local Authority Funding (KCC)
Kent County Council may contribute towards your care following a means-tested assessment, and may also consider Disability-Related Expenditure to reduce your personal contribution.
3. Direct Payments
If you receive Direct Payments from KCC, you can choose Prestige Care Connect as your preferred provider. We will send invoices directly, and your allocated funding can cover the agreed costs.
4. NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
For individuals whose needs are primarily medical, CHC funding may cover your care in full. We work closely with NHS Kent & Medway teams to ensure a smooth, coordinated service.
5. Short-Term Reablement Support
If your care is part of a short-term reablement plan (up to six weeks), it may be funded entirely by KCC — helping you regain confidence and independence at no cost.
Prestige Care Connect operates fully in line with Kent County Council’s Charging for Care Provided in Your Own Home and Support in the Community guidance. We do not charge for assessments, advice, or short-term enablement (up to six weeks) when provided under local-authority arrangements. All client invoices and care plans reflect KCC’s approach to financial assessments, Disability-Related Expenditure and provisional charges.
Contract and terms of service: charges may be provisional while a local-authority financial assessment is pending or under review. Once KCC confirms your contribution, invoices will be reconciled or backdated in line with Council policy.
We proudly support individuals and families across Dartford, Swanley, Gravesham, Northfleet and surrounding North Kent communities.
We also welcome private enquiries from nearby areas, subject to staff availability.
In your home, we’re here for you — clear, caring and simple.
