About Wilmington Manor Care Home
Wilmington Manor Care Home is a nursing home in Dartford, Kent, caring for older people who need the support of registered nurses, including people living with a physical disability. Because nurses are on duty here at all hours, we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, and we can often go on caring for someone as those needs increase rather than asking them to move again. We also offer respite stays, which can give a family carer a planned break or give someone time to regain strength and confidence after a spell in hospital. We try to keep the clinical side of things in its proper place, supporting a life rather than filling it. That starts with practical questions. What time do you like to get up, what do you enjoy eating, what can you still manage yourself, what would you rather have help with and who do you want to see. The answers shape the care plan, and where a condition is changing we talk honestly with the person and their family about what to expect and what choices they have. Relatives are welcome throughout the day, and we would rather telephone you with news, including news that is hard to hear, than leave you to find out at your next visit. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering Wilmington Manor for someone in your family, please come and look round and meet the nurses and carers.
