About Woodgate
Woodgate is a residential care home in Maidstone. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We support younger adults too, and respite stays are part of what we do. A household this mixed means one routine will not fit everybody, so we work out individually what a good day looks like for each person. For some that is company and something going on, and for others it is being left largely alone, which we treat as an equally reasonable preference. Where a resident communicates differently, whether through sight, hearing or anything else, we settle that properly at the start and everybody uses the same approach. It is the thing most often left half finished. Where somebody can do a thing themselves we support them to keep at it even when stepping in would be quicker. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking residents and their families what we should be doing differently, and we act on it.
