About Victory Care Home
Victory Care Home is a residential care home in Chatham providing care for older people, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with loss of sight or hearing, and people living with mental health conditions. The place runs at the pace of the people in it. Breakfast happens when somebody wakes rather than when a trolley arrives, and the day takes the shape a person wants. The care covers washing and dressing, medication, meals cooked here, mobility and the many small practical things that become difficult alone. For those living with dementia and for people managing mental health conditions, patience and familiarity achieve more than any amount of procedure. For people with loss of sight or hearing we adapt how we communicate, how rooms are lit and how we approach and announce ourselves, because those small changes decide whether somebody is included or left on the edge of things. Families are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would much rather hear a concern early than late. Respite stays are available. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
