Right at Home Maidstone Accepts Kent Card Payments

At Right at Home Maidstone, we regularly speak to individuals and families who are unsure about the different ways care can be funded. Many people are unaware that, if they are eligible for support through Kent County Council, they may be able to receive funding through Direct Payments and use a Kent Card to arrange care with a provider of their choice.

While we have always accepted Kent Card payments, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight this option for local people who may not realise the flexibility and choice it can offer when arranging care at home.

Many people are unaware that they may be entitled to a free care needs assessment through Kent County Council. This assessment looks at an individual's care and support needs and helps determine whether they are eligible for funding.

Where eligible, some people choose to receive their funding through Direct Payments. This gives them greater choice and control over how their care is arranged and who provides it.

In Kent, these payments are often managed using a Kent Card, which allows individuals to use their allocated funding to purchase care and support services from providers that best meet their needs, preferences and circumstances.
