Our Home
The Long Term Care Unit at Hawkinge House in Folkestone offers a home for life for individuals needing ongoing nursing and residential care, especially those living with dementia and physical frailty. Our care suites are larger than traditional rooms, featuring kitchenettes and private living spaces designed to give residents a real sense of “own space” and independence within a safe, welcoming environment.
Our team is fully equipped and passionate about delivering high-quality, personalised nursing care around the clock. We cater to a range of complex needs with specialist dementia support, medication management, and therapeutic activities designed to enhance quality of life and wellbeing. The home is built with residents’ comfort and dignity at the heart of every detail, offering landscaped gardens, communal areas, and spaces to relax and socialise.
We work closely with families to provide transparent communication, helping residents stay connected with loved ones and the local community. We also support those who may have funding through NHS Continuing Healthcare or Local Authority to access our outstanding services.
At Hawkinge House Long Term Care, families find peace of mind knowing in-depth expert care is always available, and residents benefit from a warm, homely atmosphere where friendships flourish and every individual is treated with respect and compassion.
