About Us
Abbotsleigh Dementia Nursing and Residential Care Home is in Staplehurst, Kent. We provide nursing and residential care for older people, with a particular focus on caring for people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays.
Specialising in dementia care shapes everything about how we work. We rely on knowing each person properly: their history, their family, their working life, the things that comfort them and the things that unsettle them. Distress nearly always has a cause, and our team is expected to look for it rather than to manage the behaviour. We keep the surroundings calm and familiar and we give people time instead of instructions.
Having both nursing and residential care here means that when somebody's health changes, they usually do not have to move somewhere unfamiliar. For a person living with dementia, a move is particularly hard, so avoiding it is worth a great deal.
Families are part of the home. We keep in regular contact, and we say honestly when something has changed rather than waiting for a crisis.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
If you are looking for dementia care in Kent, please arrange to visit, meet the team and see what an ordinary day here looks like.
