Our Mum has been placed in Walmer care centre after leaving hospital due to her Alzheimers, she has settled so well, the staff have been Amazing with her, she hardly eats, but the staff are constently trying to get her to eat. The staff are always open & honest with us about Mum. They encourage us to ring to ask how Mum has been, when we are unable to visit. We are very happy with the care she is receiving.
Thank you for your kind words they mean a lot to all the staff
My mother has advanced dementia. I never wanted her to go into a carehome, but I have been pleasantly surprised with how she has settled. The staff have been so caring, friendly + helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and I am so pleased that my mother is getting the care & attention she deserves

My nan went into walmer care centre for respite care. We noticed a change in nan almost immediately. She got her belly laugh back. Nans sleeping and appetite has improved since being a walmer care center. She also looks well presented and cared for. It didnt take the staff long to build a good connection with nan where she feels comfortable enough to be able to banter with them.

Staff - friendly and cheerful and caring. Room - functional. Food - fine. Building - convenient downstairs. A trial for the staff in getting me to my room upstairs. No doubt you are satisfied that the barriers are necessary. Residents - have my deepest sympathy.

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.

The care home had a wonderful afternoon tea out in the garden. Pimms, scones, cakes etc, much prepared by the residents. Also, a man playing the saxophone. Later in the month, there was the summer lunch which had games, a singer and many of the residents dancing.

I have been working at Walmer Care for 10 years, I started as a health care assistant and have progressed until becoming the registered manager 2 years ago after completing my level 5. During my time at Walmer I have completed Dementia Care matters course, implementing person centred care and breaking down barriers within the home through staff training and environmental changes.

I have been at Walmer Care Centre for 17 years, and have been providing activates at the home for 10 years, I have an NVQ2 in Health and social care and have completed both Napa Training and daily sparkle training to enable we to provide those activities in the best way possible. In 2016, I was the first person to win the Kent in Care award for putting people first. My hope is to provide person centred and life history driven activities for all our residents however far along their dementia journey they are.

I have been with Walmer Care Centre for over 20 years, providing a balanced and nutritious diet for the residents. I have a City & Guilds qualification in food preparation and food safety from Canterbury Technical College and have also achieved a supervisory kitchen management qualification. I really enjoy a themed challenge but the most rewarding part is seeing our residents enjoy lovely home cooked food.
