About Port Regis
We at Port Regis are proud to offer compassionate residential care in the coastal town of Broadstairs, Kent. As a dedicated residential care home, we provide a welcoming home for older people, younger adults, and those living with dementia, whether staying with us for the long term or on a short respite basis. Nestled within the CT postcode area of Broadstairs, our home benefits from the calming influence of this well loved seaside town on the Kent coast. The South East setting offers residents the gentle rhythms of coastal life, with all the charm and character that Broadstairs is known for. Inside, we aim to create a warm and homely environment where every resident can feel comfortable, safe, and truly at ease. Our care focuses on the individual needs of each person who lives with us. For older people, we provide thoughtful daily support that preserves dignity and independence wherever possible. For residents living with dementia, our approach is centred on familiarity, patience, and personalised routines that help reduce anxiety and promote wellbeing. We also welcome younger adults who require residential support, tailoring our care to reflect their own goals and preferences. Our respite care offers families a trusted place for their loved one to stay when a short break is needed, whether following a hospital stay, during a family holiday, or simply to allow a regular carer some time to rest. In practice, this breadth of specialism means families can feel confident that their relative will receive care shaped around who they are as a person, not just the support they require. We take time to learn about each resident's life story, preferences, and the small daily details that bring them comfort and joy. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, carried out in October 2025, awarded us an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We were pleased that inspectors recognised the quality of our work with ratings of Good in the Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains, reflecting the kindness of our team and the meaningful way we respond to residents' needs. We fully acknowledge the areas identified for improvement within the Safe and Well led domains, and we are actively working on the changes required to raise standards across every part of our home. We believe honesty and openness matter, and we welcome conversations with families about the steps we are taking. If you are exploring care options for someone you love, we understand how significant this decision feels. We warmly invite you to get in touch with Port Regis to arrange a visit, meet our team, and see for yourself the atmosphere we work hard to create. Whatever your questions, we are here to listen and to help you find the right path forward for your family.
