Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 23 good, 10 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. ?
Weald Heights is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 80-bed nursing home in Sevenoaks, run by Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. Most homes in Kent are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
CQC's latest rating, from June 2025, is Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for caring and well-led as well. CQC rated safe, effective and responsive as Good. Before that, in May 2021, it was rated Good. The typical rating in Kent is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 10 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd runs 106 care homes, and 97 of the 102 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent.
