The town falls under the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board, with Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust providing acute services from Maidstone Hospital. As Kent's administrative centre, Maidstone has a wide catchment area, and care homes here serve both the urban population and surrounding rural mid-Kent and Weald communities.
