About Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill is a residential care home in Dartford supporting adults living with mental health conditions. This is somewhere people live rather than a placement they have been sent to, and we run the household on that basis. What tends to help most here is a settled environment, a structure to the week that can be relied upon, and staff who know somebody well enough to notice when things are shifting, often before the person feels able to say so. Support can include help with medication, personal care where it is needed, managing a household, budgeting, getting to appointments and taking part in ordinary life outside these walls. Where somebody has goals of their own, whether that is work, study, seeing more of their family or simply managing more of their own affairs, we plan support that steps back as they step forward. Most of the people we support are younger adults, and we are careful not to treat them as a single group with one set of needs. Respite stays are available too, which can give a family carer a real break or provide a settled place to be during a difficult period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Chapel Hill, please visit, meet the people living here and ask us whatever you need to.
