About
Blair Park Residential Care Home is in Milton Regis, just off the A249 at Sittingbourne in Kent. The building dates from the 18th century and was once a doctor's surgery before being converted into a home for older people. It is registered for 40 beds and accepts both publicly funded and privately paying residents. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Good overall, with Safe, Effective, Responsive and Well-led all graded Good, while Caring is graded Requires Improvement.
Rooms include standard bedrooms, larger en-suite rooms and large doubles for couples. Residents have a bright conservatory overlooking the rear gardens, a front patio, two lounges and a dining room, where meals follow a four-weekly seasonal menu. A passenger lift and a stair lift serve the building, and an on-site activities coordinator arranges entertainers, outings and events.
