I am very happy with the care my mother receives at Harbledown Lodge, and she is very happy. She tells me that all of the staff are lovely and kind to her.
I always receive a warm welcome when I arrive to visit. The home is spotlessly clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much
trouble. The food looks amazing, and Mum has a varied diet.

Walmer Care Centre

from Peter G (Son of Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A very welcoming home to residents, visitors and my dog who enjoys the extra attention! The home is warm and well managed with excellent staff who are attentive and very caring. The ratio of staff to residents is high which is good to know and see. The Duty Managers keep me informed of any incidents
relating to my mother in a timely fashion, and steps taken in her support.
The home spent much time and effort in ensuring that all residents had an enjoyable Christmas period, with decorations, activities, presents and meals. Family and staff were integrated into the process....thank you.
Mum is safe, well cared for and content living at the home. I am confident and pleased that the Walmer Care Centre is the right home for her. The location at the seafront is special with good parking and access.
It is good that staff wear their name badges which is helpful for residents and visitors alike.

I have found the care home to be very clean and always warm. The security of the building is good, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
The food is always very goo,d and my mum seems most of the time very happy. I would like to see my mum out of bed more and encouraged to do some activities
when they are available, also, I know there are staffing issues. It would be nice as well if there was a tea room for visitors to use, as some people travel hours to get there, and this would save the nurses time.

I visited my friend of 25 years, who now has dementia and was staying for 2 weeks respite care. Favourably impressed by the staff who seemed very calm, kind and friendly. I was there for 2 visits of 1 hour each. My friend was in the lounge with 5 or 6 other users. At no time were they left unattended.
Staff interactions with users were always pleasant, with smiles and the use of clear language. - Kind and straightforward.
Room not seen, only lounge. Overall security good.

My best friend unfortunately now has to be cared for in a care home and I have now been visiting him every week for the past few months. It is so nice to see him being well cared for and on my visits I find the staff so caring having lots of time for the residents. The home is clean and the quality
of the food looks very good with my friend saying how much he enjoys it. Whenever I visit I am welcomed warmly in a very friendly way and my friend seems to be so happy there and enjoys his interaction with the staff.
