About
Kent House Residential Home is a 25-bed home in Broadstairs, Kent, providing care for people living with dementia. It stands a short walk from the town centre, so residents can visit the shops or go for walks with the home's activities coordinator. The home also has local links with GPs and podiatrists.
Meals are homemade each day from fresh fruit and vegetables, and the cook can adapt dishes to dietary needs or personal taste. Morning and afternoon teas and snacks are also available. Residents can eat in the newly built conservatory diner, which overlooks the garden, or in their rooms if they prefer. Care plans are kept digitally so changes in need can be recorded promptly. The home holds a 5-star food hygiene rating. The Care Quality Commission rated it Good overall in 2023; all key questions are Good except Well-led, which Requires Improvement.
