About West Hill Care Home
West Hill Care Home in Dartford provides nursing care for older people and for younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays for those who need nursing care for a shorter period. Having registered nurses on duty means we can look after people whose health needs are complicated or likely to change, without them needing to move somewhere else when things become more demanding. We manage medication, wounds, continence and nutrition, we keep a close watch for early signs that somebody is becoming unwell, and we work in step with GPs, community teams and hospital colleagues in Kent. Nursing is only half the job, though. This is where our residents live, and the quality of an ordinary day matters just as much as the quality of the clinical care. We take time to learn about each person's history and preferences, we support them to keep their own routine as far as their health allows, and we pay attention to comfort, dignity and company. For residents living with dementia, we keep the environment calm and predictable and match staff to people consistently so that trust can build. We keep families closely informed and welcome them at any reasonable time, including at the difficult moments when a relative's health changes and decisions have to be made together. If you are looking for nursing care in Dartford, please come and visit us and ask whatever you need to ask.
