About
Generals Meadow is a 19-bed care home in Walmer, near Deal in Kent, registered to support residents aged over 65. It is privately owned and run by its owners, Mr and Mrs Johnson, who have a combined 40 years' experience in residential care in Walmer. The home was first established as a care home for older people in 1985.
The building is a former mansion designed by Herbert Baker in the Dutch Colonial style, and many of its original features remain, linking it to its use during the First and Second World Wars. It stands in mature terraced gardens in a quiet residential part of Walmer village, within walking distance of the local church, village shops and bus routes to Deal, and close to Walmer Castle and the seafront. Canterbury is 23 miles away. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2022 report, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
