Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 24 good, 9 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Lady Dane Farmhouse is a 15-bed residential care home in Faversham, Kent, run by Strode Park Foundation For People With Disabilities. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment.
CQC last rated the home in April 2026, giving it Outstanding overall. Caring and responsive were also Outstanding. Safe, effective and well-led were rated Good. Its previous rating, in March 2021, was Good, so the home has improved. That is more recent than most ratings in Kent, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 9 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
It is one of 5 homes run by Strode Park Foundation For People With Disabilities. 5 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. 16 other homes in Kent share its tier, “Outstanding”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent.
