About Maplewood Court Care Home

Maplewood Court is a nursing home in Maidstone. We care for adults who need skilled nursing alongside help with washing, dressing, eating and moving about, and we have registered nurses on shift through the night as well as the day. That means a change in someone's condition is picked up and acted on promptly, and families are not left wondering whether anyone qualified is there. We support older people, people living with dementia and adults with physical disabilities, including younger adults. Every person who comes to live here has a plan written with them, covering not just medical needs but how they want their day to go, what they can still do for themselves and what they would like help with. Independence is worth protecting even in small things, and we are careful not to take over tasks simply because doing them for someone would be quicker. Meals are freshly prepared and we accommodate particular diets, textures and tastes. Beyond mealtimes, people spend their days as they choose, in company or alone, indoors or in the garden when the weather allows. We arrange activities and local outings, but nothing is compulsory. Visitors are welcome throughout the day, and we encourage relatives to stay for a meal or take their family member out for an afternoon. If you are thinking about nursing care in Kent, call us or simply come and look round. We are glad to answer difficult questions about cost and about what happens as needs increase.

The home's own text promises a plan written with each person covering how they want their day to go and what they can still do for themselves. Registration here covers dementia alongside nursing, so it may suit someone whose memory loss sits beside a health condition.
