Alexander House

from Michael S (Husband of Resident) published on 12 August 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My wife has been cared for permanently at Alexander House for the last six months. The quality of the day to day running if the home is very important to myself and my family. I am very pleased the way the home is run. The staff are very respectful to residents and visitors and nothing is too much trouble.
I visit my wife three times a week and I am always guaranteed a smile from whoever opens the door, and always offered lunch or refreshments. The atmosphere in the home is always friendly and they have different activities to entertain the residents. My life now is totally different and sometimes stressful living on my own but the manager and staff go a long way helping with my wife's care and I think she is as happy as her dementia allows.

Eastfield

from Mark T (Son of Resident) published on 6 August 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Mum was a resident at Eastfields for about 18 months up to her passing a couple of weeks ago. I can not thank enough the Management team and all of the staff who cared for my Mum. Even during her final moments they held her hand and played music to her. Her passing was so peaceful and dignified.
I will never forget what they did for her.
I will miss visiting the home, its very nice inside with a lovely garden. I will mostly miss the staff who are excellent, they are so caring and diligent.
I would highly recommend Eastfields for the care of your loved ones.

Edward House

from F F (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Now my mother has been in Edward house for 3 months, I am happy and have peace in mind she is looked after well. Manager, her Deputy and all team member are welcoming. I have had several phone calls during the time my mum was not well. Manager took her to A&E just as precaution. I cannot praise their
kindness, being cheerful and informative all the time.
I have rated facilities GOOD how ever building and communal areas can benefit of a face lift. also garden can be more welcoming for residence to sit outside when the weather is good.
Every where is clean all the time however it would be better if it is safe around residence to use fabric softener in the water when floors being mopped so area smells nice.

Reply from Kristie Marku, Registered Manager at Edward House

Thank you for your positive feedback. It our pleasure to provide the best quality of care for your mother. Thank you also for your comments about the garden and the communal areas. I am please to confirmed that the work in the garden has commence to create a more comfortable experience for our residents and as the home has recently recruited a new maintenance worker plans has already put in place to refresh the lounge area so that the residents will be able to enjoy more their time together. Many thanks once again as we truly appreciate the feedback we receive from residents and families

My mother has been a resident for 30 months and in all that time she has been shown kindness and compassion, although she is quite frail and very confused now I've never seen her distressed, she regards Edward House as her home and I ( her daughter) am delighted with the care she receives.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Since my Father's arrival in April everyone we have interacted with at Charles Lodge has been helpful, friendly, caring, patient and understanding of the needs of the Resident and also the stress that family members are feeling. Carers, managers and support staff have all been positive, friendly, attentive
and they have all made this difficult period much easier with their calm natures and great caring skills.
Charles Lodge is a homely, relaxing, environment and the best we viewed for our father's needs.
I would recommend Charles Lodge without hesitation.

Whitstable Nursing Home

from Nicky C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the very start, all staff were very reassuring and kind. They helped ease mum and us into her new circumstances and were very accommodating with requests and finding foods that would suit mum's needs and ways to make her as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately mum was only able to enjoy the home
for a short time but during that time we observed everyone going out of their way to care and help us deal with the situation. They were, without exception, friendly, patient, skilful, professional, understanding and helpful. We cannot thank them enough for the level of care particularly towards the end of the chapter.
The only criticism we would have is the obvious lack of investment into the building and business. Whilst not unserviceable, some areas of the home looked tired and there are areas (some outside) that would benefit from an overhaul. Additionally, it seems that the staff are the key to the success of this business but this is not adequately recognised. Owners - do better!

My mother came to be in this nursing home after she had a few months in hospital, unfortunately she was under palliative care as there was not a lot of hope of a full recovery, the team at this home were exceptionally kind and always willing to try with my mum, everyone one was amazing to the end when

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Dad has recently moved into Whitstable Nursing Home and I cannot fault the care that has been displayed to him. All of the staff are supportive of not only him but me as it is very daunting to put a loved one into a care home. They have made us both feel very welcome and part of a family. His room
is really bright and we've been able to put up pictures which make it seem much more homely. The location of the home is so central to Whitstable and I've been able to take him out to the beach and into the town, which is great. All I want is my dad to be happy and safe and cared for and he certainly is at Whitstable Nursing Home.
