In Tonbridge, visiting care starts from £27 per hour and goes up to £31.60 per hour depending on visit length and timing, with separate rates for evenings, weekends and bank holidays. If you need someone with you around the clock, live-in care is from £1,450 per week for an individual or £1,850 per week for a couple.

Yes. Alongside Tonbridge town, our West Kent team supports clients in Hildenborough, Hadlow, Leigh, Golden Green and East Peckham, as well as Southborough and Tunbridge Wells to the south. Rural homes can be harder to reach, so we plan carer rounds carefully to keep visits on time.

Yes. Whether your relative is coming home from Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury or Maidstone Hospital, we can plan support around the discharge date. That might be short daily visits while they regain strength, or a live-in carer for the first few weeks. Care can often start within 24 hours.

Often, yes. Many Tonbridge families start with one or two visits a day for help getting washed and dressed, preparing meals or taking medication on time. As needs change, visits can be added or made longer. Short, regular calls also reassure family members that someone is checking in every day.

Yes. Carers can help with a trip along Tonbridge High Street, a visit to the GP or pharmacy, a walk by the River Medway near Tonbridge Castle, or the weekly supermarket shop. Getting out and about keeps people active and connected, and our carers go at whatever pace feels comfortable.

Adult social care in Tonbridge is run by Kent County Council rather than Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council. KCC can assess your care needs and your finances to work out whether it will contribute to the cost. If you are paying privately, or topping up council support, our team can explain how our care would work for you.

Yes. If both partners need support, one live-in carer can often help you both, so you can stay together in your own home. Where both people need a lot of physical help, a second carer may be needed, and we will discuss this openly before care begins.

PentaCare is registered with the Care Quality Commission, which inspects how we recruit, train and supervise carers and how we plan and review care. We also review your care plan with you as needs change, and you can contact our West Kent team on 01732 905405 whenever something needs adjusting.

Your free consultation is a relaxed conversation about your relative’s health, daily routine, likes and dislikes, and what worries the family most. We use it to recommend visiting or live-in care, give you a clear quote and start building the care plan. There is no obligation to go ahead.
