About House Residential Home
Kent House is a residential home in Broadstairs caring for older people, including those living with dementia. We are close to the sea and part of the town rather than set apart from it, which means family and friends can call in easily. What we offer is fairly straightforward: warm rooms, meals cooked on the premises, help with washing and dressing given discreetly, and staff who have time to sit down and talk. Before somebody moves in we ask about the small preferences that often get lost, from what time a person likes to get up to how they take their tea, and we make sure those things are passed on so nobody has to keep explaining themselves. For people living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried and we learn the life behind the person, using what families tell us to hold a conversation and to settle somebody who is distressed. Days here are not heavily organised. There is usually something going on for those who want it and quiet corners for those who do not. Short respite stays are available, whether to give a carer at home a rest or to help somebody regain confidence after hospital. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and see us before you decide anything.
