About Glenhurst Lodge

Glenhurst Lodge in Maidstone is a nursing home caring for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support, including residents living with dementia and residents managing mental health conditions. Nurses are on site at every hour, which means clinical needs are met here rather than requiring a move elsewhere, and that people can stay with us as their health changes. We keep a close watch on medication, pain relief, skin care and nutrition, and we involve GPs and community teams early rather than waiting for small concerns to become serious ones. The rest of the day is given over to living. Mornings are flexible, meals are cooked on the premises and adapted to individual tastes, and support with personal care follows the resident's pace rather than the rota's. For people living with dementia we keep routines familiar and spend real time learning a person's history, because that knowledge is usually what allows us to settle someone who is anxious. Families are welcome here and we encourage relatives to stay closely involved in decisions rather than leaving them to us. We also offer respite care, whether to give a family carer a break or to provide nursing support after a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
