Trusted care and staffing across Royal Tunbridge Wells

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers in and around Royal Tunbridge Wells. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, our staffing reach is genuinely national, and every professional is checked with enhanced DBS and right to work verification, references and training completed before anyone starts, with a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Royal Tunbridge Wells

Royal Tunbridge Wells is a historic spa town in west Kent, known for the colonnaded Pantiles, the common and its elegant Georgian streets. The town spreads across distinctive communities such as Southborough, Rusthall, Pembury, Langton Green, Speldhurst, High Brooms, Hawkenbury and Broadwater Down, taking in the TN1 to TN4 postcode areas and the surrounding villages. Care needs vary just as much across the town, from the busier streets near the centre to the quieter lanes on the edge of the High Weald, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury, the district general hospital run by Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust just off the A21. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. Care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and we work to those standards wherever we arrange support.

Adult social care in the area is provided by Kent County Council, as Kent is a two-tier authority and the county council handles social care rather than the borough council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
