About Care Centre
Here at Folkestone Care Centre, we provide nursing home care for people in Folkestone, Kent, and the surrounding areas. Our team works hard every day to make sure that everyone who lives with us feels safe, comfortable and genuinely at home. We support a wide range of people and needs. This includes older people, those living with dementia, individuals with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments, and younger adults who require nursing level support. We also offer respite care for those who need a short stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some time to rest. Nursing care sits at the heart of what we do. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means that residents with complex or changing health needs are looked after properly, and families can feel reassured that someone who knows their loved one is always close at hand. Dementia care is an area we take seriously. We understand how much difference the right environment and the right approach can make for someone living with dementia, and we work to ensure that life here feels calm, familiar and respectful of each person's history and identity. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in an overall rating of good. We see that as meaningful recognition of the effort our whole team puts in, though we are always looking at how we can continue to improve. If you are considering care for yourself or someone you love, we warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and visit us. Seeing a place for yourself, meeting the team and asking questions is always the best way to get a genuine feel for whether Folkestone Care Centre is the right fit.
