Dale Lodge is a warm, caring and welcoming environment which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place for their loved one. Residents are treated as individuals, with dignity and respect. The Management team are fabulous and the fact that many of the staff have worked there for many years
speaks for itself.
Reply from Kerry Johnson, Manager at Dale LodgeThank you very much for your kind words. I will be sure to share this review with the team, who will be delighted to know they have made a positive difference.

Dale Lodge

from Clifford W (Son of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
One of the hardest choices has to be choosing a care home for a parent.


As my Mother's dementia has progressed, the team at Dale Lodge have adapted to ensure she is comfortable and safe, working very hard for her and every other resident to give them the best care possible.


I was speaking to one

of the staff some time ago and mentioned the difficulty of their work and questioned if was easier for them over time as people come and go. She said... 'No, it never gets easier as we see them as our extended family'. I think this sums up the level of care, dedication and diligence the team exhibit. It has a family feel, is always very clean and doesn't smell as other homes can.


Thank you to all the staff at Dale Lodge!

Reply from Kerry Johnson, Manager at Dale LodgeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We understand how difficult it is to choose a care home for a loved one, and it means a great deal to know that you feel your mum is safe, comfortable, and cared for with such compassion.
Your words truly reflect the values of our team, and the sentiment you shared from one of our staff members captures exactly how they view the people they care for. We will be sure to share your kind feedback with the entire team, who will be deeply touched and encouraged by it.
Thank you for your trust and for recognising the dedication, warmth, and hard work of everyone at Dale Lodge.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My relative always seems happy and settled when I visit. The staff are friendly and caring and make you welcome.
They are very good at keeping relatives informed of any incidents or illnesses and the home is always kept spotlessly clean. Even the cleaning staff are cheerful and friendly and seem
to know the residents well. There are plenty of activities for residents to participate in - they really enjoy the music and singing - but aren't pressured to join in .
I have visited a number of homes and I would definitely recommend this one.

Dale Lodge

from Christine P (Niece of Resident) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the care aunty gets at dale lodge. She is a vegetarian and her needs are always met. Aunty is quite 'on the ball' and know exactly what's going on. Whenever she tells us of an issue she may have we always relay it to the manager and the issues are explained to us. The activities
are always varied and adapted to all the residents needs. Aunty is always clean and her laundry is always done on a daily basis and there is never a smell in the home. Whilst the home is not the most luxurious I realise that the care is more important than chandeliers and crystal glasses well done to the whole team
Reply from Kerry Johnson, Manager at Dale LodgeThank you very much for sharing your experience and for your kind, honest feedback. We're delighted to hear that your aunty is happy at Dale Lodge and that her dietary needs are always met. It's especially reassuring to know that she feels able to share her thoughts and that any concerns are clearly communicated and addressed with the management team.
We're pleased that you value the varied activities, high standards of cleanliness, and the care and attention given to your aunty's daily needs.

Chestfield House

from Abi D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing a nursing home for your loved one is an incredibly daunting situation to be in. My family viewed a number of homes when deciding where best to place our Grandmother who needed palliative care. When we viewed Chestfield House we all agreed almost immediately that it was the best place to care
for Grandma. It is the staff that make this place stand out. The manager, nurses and all of the staff were so warm, kind, professional and knowledgable. Importantly, they were always available to speak to in person or on the phone. They really listened to us and responded to Grandma's complex needs, treating her with such care. When she reached the end of her life, staff were so compassionate to us as a family and to Grandma.
The nursing home itself feels like a home. There are lots activities to participate in, both as residents and family/friends. Food was always of good quality.
These are staff who genuinely care and I actually miss seeing them every day.
Reply from Manju Joy, Manager at Chestfield HouseThank you for your wonderful feedback. We truly appreciate it and are glad to know you're happy with our care.

This care home has to be the best care home in Maidstone and probably Kent. The staff go above and beyond for all the residents making sure they are safe and happy. My Mum has been here 3 years now and in that time I could not complain about anything, she is very well looked after and all her needs
met. The care home itself has had a major facelift in the last year which has made it absolutely top class. I can't thank the staff enough for everything they do for my Mum they really are all amazing.

Chestfield House

from N H (Son of Resident) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care provided by Chestfield House nursing home, both to my mum in her final few months and to us as a family, has been excellent. The staff are very caring and committed. This positive staff culture undoubtedly comes from the top, Manju the Manager. We saw this in practice with how she is creates
a respectful and even fun atmosphere for staff (e.g. Curry Lunch event - staff brought in food, dressed, danced for residents etc) - but always with a steely eye on patient/resident care. You can tell that she, and the whole staff, take pride in their jobs. I also discovered that several staff have been there for many years which, in his sector, is unusual and a very good sign.


The building isn't the most modern or purpose built, although rooms are light and relatively large. But the staff care is what really matters. We'd visited others locally when choosing a home, and this one stood out with its friendly and positive atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My mother in law was a resident at Harbledown Lodge for four years. During her stay there, she was treated with the utmost kindness and dignity. As we live outside of the area, our visits were perhaps 3 or 4 times a year, and we were always welcomed and respected.
During her final days of life, she
was made comfortable and assured regularly. The family were supported and felt respected at all times. She always felt loved and safe. We are most grateful to everyone who was involved in her care.

My mum has been a resident at the care home for a few years and continues to receive the highest level of care. All the staff are friendly and caring and she loves the food. Her favourite activity is when the pet therapy dogs come to visit. She also likes getting her hair and nails done on a Wednesday.
I'm so grateful for the care she receives and can't thank them enough.
