About Treetops Residential Home
Treetops Residential Home is a care home in Margate, Kent, providing residential care for older people. We also welcome guests for respite stays, whether that is to give a family carer a break, to help somebody recover after a spell in hospital, or to try the home before deciding about a longer stay. We are a residential home rather than a nursing home, and that shapes the feel of the place. Life here is domestic in scale. People choose when to get up, where to spend the day, what they eat and who they see. Help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility is given as and when it is needed, discreetly and without fuss. Being in Margate has its advantages. The sea air and the coast give people somewhere to go and something to talk about, and many of our residents have lived in the area for most of their lives, which makes for good conversation. We keep families closely involved. Relatives are often the ones who notice first that something has changed, and we would always rather hear from them than not. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in Margate, please come and visit, stay for a cup of tea and see the home as it really is.
