About Maurice House
Maurice House is a nursing home in Broadstairs, Kent. We support older people whose needs include nursing care, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people whose health needs are complex can stay with us as those needs change rather than having to move on again. Families who have already been through one difficult move usually recognise the value of that immediately. We watch for the drift towards a hospital atmosphere. Days here should have a domestic shape, with nursing fitted around ordinary life rather than the reverse. Something we also try to get right is how we talk to families. We keep them in the picture when health changes, and we would rather ring with something small than let a relative discover it on a visit. We would rather have enough staff on a shift than a full occupancy list. Thin staffing shows up immediately in how long people wait. Continence is handled with care and without embarrassment, and we would rather look at the cause than reach for a pad. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. A rating cannot tell you whether the place is warm in both senses, so come and see.
