About Apna Ghar Residential Home
Apna Ghar Residential Home is a care home in Gillingham. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people managing a mental health condition, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out at the start than let a family find it later. The inspection identified things that were not good enough for the people living here, and we have accepted that. Anyone considering us should ask precisely what was found and precisely what has changed since, and should not settle for a general answer. What we are working towards is a home where the ordinary things that make somebody feel at ease are taken seriously. Food, language and the customs a person has kept all their life are not extras to be fitted in when there is time, and where somebody has lived with a mental health condition for years we begin from what they tell us works. Please visit before deciding anything. Read the inspection report in full and judge us on what you find.
