Our Home

Welcome to Cornford House

Nestled on the outskirts of Pembury, near Tunbridge Wells, Cornford House offers 24-hour nursing care, residential and dementia care, and respite stays across 78 private care suites. Each suite has its own living area and kitchenette, giving residents space to relax, welcome visitors and enjoy familiar routines. The home also has separate areas dedicated to supporting residents with physical care needs and those living with dementia.

Our experienced nursing team provides personalised care shaped around each resident’s needs, preferences and routines. We take the time to learn what matters most to them and build close relationships with residents and their families. Couples can stay together, and family and friends are welcome throughout the day, helping everyone feel connected and at home at Cornford House.

Supporting care with smart technology

At Cornford House, we’re proud to use Teton, an advanced AI-powered monitoring system that helps our care team provide even more personalised, proactive care by discreetly monitoring changes in movement, sleep, and daily routines. 

There are no cameras, wearable devices or intrusive technology – just intelligent support working quietly in the background to protect each resident’s privacy and dignity. When something shifts, our team is alerted early and can respond proactively, rather than waiting for a problem to become obvious. 

For families, it’s an added layer of reassurance, knowing their loved one benefits from technology that helps keep them safe while preserving the comfort and independence of home.

Cornford House was everything we were looking for in a care home for my mother.
It was clean, warm and friendly.
Lots of lovely activities if you wanted to do them. All the staff were very friendly and professional, thorough and thoughtful.
I thoroughly recommend this care home to people looking for the best care for their friend or relative.
