Knowing that she could not have had a better outcome has really helped me bear my loss.
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful words, the team and I really appreciate them. We are so pleased that we were able to help at such a difficult time.

Our very first contact with Birchwood was when my daughter and I turned up unannounced and were welcomed warmly and shown around. We walked away saying how lovely the place felt and what a lovely atmosphere there was. We booked my husband in for two weeks respite care and I cannot praise all the staff enough for how kind and cheerful they were. When I visited on day two I was amazed at the level of housekeeping. Everything was clean and shiny and there was a lovely smell of furniture polish in the air. The food looks appetising and was served in his room as he didn't feel comfortable sitting in the dining room due to his condition. The ladies in charge were so helpful and organised ambulances to transport him to hospital for appointments and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They have taken a huge worry off my shoulders and have organised district nurses to visit and even offered to extend his stay should he not feel well enough to go home. Thank you all for providing such a lovely environment to all the residents and their visitors.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review of our home. It was an absolute pleasure to help you both.
After a very anxious time, I was welcomed by staff and made to feel very at home immediatly, then I recognised a lady I knew so immediatley had a companion. Activities were great fun but very exhausting as I wasn't used to it. Staff were so supportive and I feel I built up a lovely relationship...

Birchwood House is a very relaxing home for people needing care. The staff are very caring and patient and well liked by everyone. Nothing is too much trouble & activities are made fun. The food is very good and patients can eat in their rooms if they want to. Doctors, dentists, opticians, hairdressers and chiropodists visit when required. Rooms are nicely decorated and homely. All in all a relaxing place to be.

The team at are both friendly and hardworking, providing exceptional care and ensuring that each resident's individual needs are thoughtfully met. The house itself is always spotless, the food is excellent, and there is a wide range of activities offered throughout the week, including movement to music, painting, games, and gardening. Residents also benefit from visiting professionals such as hairdressers, dental services, and podiatrists, and the local GP support is outstanding. The rooms are lovely, and the setting is a highlight, with beautiful gardens to enjoy in warmer weather and peaceful views year-round. What stands out most is the warmth of the team. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and visitors are always welcomed with genuine kindness. I couldn't recommend Birchwood House more.
Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are thankful of the time it took to give your feedback which is essential for us to grow and improve our service. Thank you again and I will be sure to share this with the team.
For several years I've visited friends in this excellent home. It's a home - not a house. Lovely staff. Book me a room!!!

Staff warm and welcoming, always very attentive to the residents. The house is always clean. Games are arranged in the afternoons to keep residents active whilst having fun. At meal times residents are able to either eat in their rooms or in the dining area, the food looks lovely and they cater for any size appetite. Feels like one big family.
Thank you so much for a lovely review. I will be sure to share this with the staff and kitchen.
I live in Birchwood House care home, have been there about 2 months, it is a very nice place to live in. Its a joy to sit and look out the windows that overlooks the gardens when the sun is out its a pleasure to look at all the flowers in the garden.

It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is in such caring and capable hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a compassionate place for a loved one.

Mum has been in the care of Birchwood for nearly 4 years now. She receives excellent care by all the staff. We are kept informed of any event, or changes that may happen. The residents have lots of entertainment which keeps them both mentally and physically stimulated. All the staff are caring and considerate, and in my opinion mum couldn't be better cared for.
Thank you so much for the lovely review of our home, we truly appreciate your kind words.
My mum was very anxious about going into a care home, but Clare and the team have done a wonderful job making her feel at home and getting her involved in activities. It's so nice to see her engaging with other people her age instead of sitting at home with her carer waiting for visitors.

Without doubt it's the quality of the staff and management that makes Birchwood such an excellent care home. Being an older building creates its own management difficulties certainly, but it also adds personality and warmth and makes it more of a real home for the residents. We are extremely pleased with the care and attention that our mother continues to receive and have no regrets at our choice of care home. Thank you Birchwood!

Birchwood House is a unique jewel tucked away in the heart of the Kent Countryside and, with it's caring staff and positive attitude, has proved to be the ideal 'family' setting for our brother.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review of your relatives experience with us. We are especially touched by your comment that Birchwood feels more like a "large family " than a care home. That is exactly the atmosphere we strive to create everyday, and it means the world to our team to know that your relative feels perfectly at home here. The wildlife is definitely one of the perks of being tucked away in the countryside, we are looking forward to spending more time in the gardens now the warmer weather is on its way.
I've found the care home staff very friendly, understanding, professional, caring, open, helpful..and, most importantly, fun when witnessing their interactions with my mother. I have nothing but praise for their care and commitment.

We’ve been successful at Birchwood in ensuring our residents and staff continue to live and work in a safe and secure environment. My staff deserve my heartfelt thanks and huge credit in delivering a first class, personal service to all our residents and homecare clients.
We’ve continued safe and secure family visits for our residents too, with up to 3 visits scheduled every day in our secure meeting area. With alignment to all government and health guidelines, our residents have been able to stay in contact with their nearest and dearest. Very early on it occurred to me how integral it was for the residents’ wellbeing to maintain face to face contact. It’s certainly helped to maintain high spirits for all and we hope to do everything we can to continue these in the weeks and months ahead.
