About Us
We at Ami Group, The Knoll Unit and Ami Court Unit, are proud to offer specialist nursing home care in the coastal town of Deal, Kent. Our home provides dedicated older person care, nursing support, and respite stays for families across the CT postcode area and beyond, offering peace of mind when it matters most.
Nestled within the welcoming community of Deal, our setting benefits from the calm and restorative atmosphere that this part of Kent is known for. Residents enjoy the gentle rhythm of coastal life, with the familiar surroundings of a well established South East town just moments away. Our two units, The Knoll Unit and Ami Court Unit, are designed to provide comfortable, homely spaces where residents can feel truly at ease, whether they are joining us for a short respite stay or making our home their long term residence.
Our specialisms centre around older person care and nursing care, which means our team is equipped to support residents with a wide range of age related health needs, from ongoing clinical requirements to the everyday support that helps people live with dignity and comfort. For families, this means knowing that qualified nursing support is available around the clock, and that their loved one is being cared for by people who genuinely understand the complexities of later life. Our respite care offering also provides an invaluable option for families who may need short term support, whether following a hospital stay, during a period of recovery, or simply to give regular carers a well deserved break.
In practice, our approach to care is built on kindness, patience, and a deep respect for each individual. We take time to understand each resident as a person, learning about their history, preferences, and the small things that bring them joy. This person centred ethos runs through everything we do, from how we support daily routines to how we celebrate special moments together.
Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in December 2019, rated us as Requires Improvement overall. We are proud that we were rated Good in three key domains, Effective, Caring, and Responsive, which reflects the warmth of our team and the quality of the day to day care experience we provide. We recognise that the Safe and Well led domains were identified as areas requiring improvement, and we take this feedback seriously as part of our ongoing commitment to raising standards across every aspect of our home. Transparency matters to us, and we believe families deserve a full and honest picture when making such an important decision.
If you are considering care for a loved one in Deal or the wider Kent area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing a nursing home is a deeply personal journey, and our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand whether our home might be the right fit for your family. We would be delighted to welcome you for a conversation and to share more about the life and care we offer at The Knoll Unit and Ami Court Unit.
