About Broad Oak Manor Care Home
Broad Oak Manor Care Home is a nursing home in Dartford. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. With nurses on duty at every hour, medication, skin care, nutrition, pain and mobility are managed here, and a change in somebody's condition is noticed by people who know how they usually are rather than by a stranger reading a chart. A good deal that would otherwise become a hospital admission is handled in the person's own room instead. Where somebody has a physical disability, the risk in any care setting is that life quietly narrows in the name of safety. It is always easier to bring things to a person than to get them out. We try to notice when that is happening, because support that shrinks a person's world is not good care however tidy the paperwork looks. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally, and come at an ordinary time of day.
