Our Home
Wantsum Lodge is a friendly, welcoming care home in Ramsgate where residents are supported to live life on their own terms. Whether your loved one needs residential care, dementia support or a short respite stay, our team takes time to get to know them — their routines, their preferences, and what makes them feel at home.
Set in the heart of Ramsgate, close to the harbour, local shops and cafés, the home makes it easy for families to visit and for residents to stay connected to the community they know. It’s a place where life still feels relaxed, sociable and full of choice.
Every new resident is introduced to a dedicated team member who becomes their main point of contact. This is the person who helps with day-to-day things, listens when something’s on their mind, and keeps you updated on how they’re settling in. It’s a simple approach, but families tell us it makes the move into care feel much less daunting.
We’d love to welcome you for a visit. Come and see the home, meet the team, and find out if Wantsum Lodge is the right fit for your family.

Our Facilities
Wantsum Lodge is designed to feel both comfortable and practical, with wide doorways, well-lit corridors and an internal lift, making it easy for people using walking frames or wheelchairs to get around. There is a large communal lounge for group activities and entertainment, along with smaller sitting areas that offer quieter corners for one-to-one chats, reading or simply watching the world go by. Residents benefit from a fully equipped hairdressing and beauty salon, bringing a bit of pamper time into the home and helping people feel like themselves. Every bedroom has a nurse call system for peace of mind, and the easily accessible, secure garden provides safe outdoor space with seating where residents and visitors can enjoy fresh air, plants and sunshine. Regular visits from chiropodists, dentists, hairdressers, opticians and local clergy help keep everyday healthcare and spiritual needs close to hand, without the hassle of travelling.
Things to do around Wantsum Lodge Care Home
Being in Ramsgate means there’s always something familiar or interesting nearby for residents and families to enjoy together. Short outings might include a stroll to local cafés or shops, a visit to the park, or a gentle walk along the promenade to take in the sea air and harbour views. On slightly longer trips, families often choose Ramsgate Main Sands, nearby churches, or coastal spots along the Thanet coastline for picnics, ice creams or people-watching. Good transport links make it easy for relatives from across Kent to visit often, and the team can help plan outings that suit each person’s mobility, energy and interests, so days out stay enjoyable rather than tiring.
