About Martha House
Martha House is a nursing home in Deal, Kent. We support adults who need nursing care, including adults who are autistic or have a learning disability and people living with a physical disability, and we welcome people for respite stays as well as for longer term care. Nursing care and a good life are not alternatives. Having nurses on site simply means that health needs are met safely and calmly, so that people can get on with the parts of the day that actually interest them. We talk with each person, and with the people who know them best, about how they like things done, what upsets them, what settles them and how they tell us when something is wrong. That understanding is written down and used, not filed away. We pay close attention to communication, because a person who cannot easily say what hurts depends on us to notice. Our staff know the signs to watch for, and we work with local health professionals when something changes. Families and friends are an important part of life here. Visit when it suits you, be involved as much as you want to be, and tell us honestly if we are getting something wrong. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking for nursing care in Deal or elsewhere in Kent, please come and see us and ask whatever you need to ask.
