Types of Care Available in Kent
Nursing Care
Our Kent nursing homes, Cornford House, Hazeldene House, Hawkhurst House, Hawkinge House and Woodchurch House, provide 24-hour nursing care from qualified nurses for residents with complex health needs, long-term conditions or recovery from illness or surgery. Every resident has a personalised care plan, and many of our care suites offer more space than a traditional nursing room, with a private living area and kitchenette.
Dementia Care
We offer specialist dementia care in dedicated areas across our Kent homes, designed to feel calm, safe and familiar. Our teams are trained in dementia care and take a relationship-centred approach, taking time to understand each person’s history, routines and the things that help them feel settled. Activities are tailored to individual interests and abilities, and families are encouraged to stay closely involved in care planning throughout.
Residential Care
For older people who need support with daily living but not nursing care, our residential homes, including Ramsgate Care Centre and Wantsum Lodge offer a comfortable, sociable environment. Residents receive help with personal care, medication and meals while keeping as much independence as possible. Spacious bedrooms and welcoming communal lounges give plenty of room to relax, socialise or spend time with visiting family.
Respite Care
If you need a short break from caring, or your loved one would benefit from a trial stay, we offer respite care across our Kent homes. Respite stays give families peace of mind and let potential residents experience life at the home before making a longer-term decision. All respite residents receive the same standard of care, meals and access to activities as our permanent residents.
End of Life Care
When someone is approaching the end of their life, our teams provide compassionate, dignified care focused on comfort and quality of life. We work closely with families, GPs and palliative care specialists to make sure each person’s wishes are respected, and flexible visiting arrangements allow families to spend precious time together.
