Kent is home to over 700 registered care locations, spread across one of England’s most geographically diverse counties. From the urban centres of Medway and Maidstone to the coastal homes in Thanet and Dover, Kent’s care sector serves an ageing population that’s growing faster than the national average. The county’s over-65 population is projected to increase by 25% by 2035, driving demand for well-trained care staff.
Many Kent care homes are independently owned and operated, often by owners who are also the registered manager. These homes face a specific challenge: most quality training providers are London-based and either don’t travel to Kent or add significant surcharges for doing so. The result is that homes default to e-learning, which ticks the attendance box but doesn’t demonstrate the competence that CQC is looking for.
Life Care was built to serve exactly these homes. We deliver the same standard of MPharm-led, evidence-backed training in Ashford as we do in Greenwich — with no travel surcharge and no compromise on quality.
