Victory Care Home provides affordable high-quality residential care for older people with dementia, sensory and physical impairment, including end-of-life and palliative care.
CQC has given Victory a rating of ‘good’ right across the board (December 2019).
As Victory was purpose-built as a care home in 1984 all communal spaces and bedrooms are on one accessible floor.
Victory is divided into four ‘wings’, all named after ships that were at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. HMS Victory (best known for her role as Lord Nelson’s flagship) was built in nearby Chatham Historic Dockyard. Neptune and Swiftsure each have their own lounge/dining room and a kitchenette, where care staff prepare snacks, and visitors and the more able residents can help themselves to a cuppa. Sirius has its own lounge, and Orion has a large lounge/dining room for Sirius and Orion residents. Parties and group activities are held in Orion.
There are 61 single bedrooms. All rooms have en-suites or washbasins in the room. Rooms without en-suites have accessible toilets and bathrooms nearby. Many of the bedrooms look out onto one of the three courtyard gardens.
Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own photos and furniture. Personal possessions help residents feel at home and provide extra stimulation and time for reminiscence.
Victory was one of the first Agincare care homes to paint each bedroom door a different colour. Together with a number and door knocker, this makes the door more recognisable for the resident of that room.

So relieved that Mum settled well for a 6 week review; it was decided she did need Residential Care at the Council Review, i wanted Mum to remain at Victory House. The staff, including Office management, Carer's, cleaners and laundry people are always welcoming, friendly and accommodating. If I raise an issue (I've done this once) it was dealt without fuss. I enjoy my visits as Mum is happy, busy and valued. Her wishes, along with other residents are taken into account and never dismissed. I feel welcome and it has a happy atmosphere.

Mum is very happy here. Other care homes have parks, cafe, cinema etc, but Victory does not. However, they do get the fundamentals right. They provide a safe environment, and good 24 hour care. The activity coordinators try very hard to create an interesting and active environment for the residents.

I urgently needed to find a care home for my mum who has Alzheimer's for 2 weeks respite. I was finding the whole process daunting as I haven't had to do this before but the staff were amazing and made everything so much easier to handle. The care home was welcoming,clean and tidy with loads of room to roam around and gardens to sit out in depending on her mood. She was looked after and cared for and made to feel safe by everyone and I couldn't of asked for more.

It's wonderful to hear that your mum felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay with us. Creating a welcoming environment, with space to relax both indoors and in our gardens, is very important to us, so we're delighted this made a difference to her experience.
Your kind words about our staff mean a great deal, and we will be sure to share your feedback with the entire team. Knowing that we could give you peace of mind and provide your mum with the care and reassurance she needed is exactly what we aim for every day.
We would be more than happy to support you again in the future if you ever need us.
Warm regards, Theresa
The care home staff were truly amazing, treating my Mum with the respect and dignity she deserved and looking after her , even when ( towards the end if her life) she really should have been transferred for nursing care. Mum viewed the care home as her home and felt safe there. They also looked...
We really felt Mum was surrounded by love.

Thank you for your very positive feedback, we are glad that you having a good experience with the care that we provided to your Mother.
From the moment mum was admitted 5 years ago, as an emergency for her safety, we knew it was right place for her. Communication is paramount when a loved one is in a care home and this is always maintained, any problems easily resolved, by approachable staff, including managers who have listened...
Mum has been looked after by carers who care and she has built up a good rapport with many of them. They endeavour to maintain her privacy and dignity in all interactions with her and she has enjoyed participating in activities. As her dementia progressed the carers have shown understanding and managed her daily activities accordingly. It was evident when we visit that all staff knew who mum was and they showed her affection, which she often returned.
Recently mum took to her bed and was under end of life care. The care and attention given by staff was exceptional, some giving up part of their break time to sit with her. Incredible!

She had her ups and downs, contracted Covid, had Pneumonia, suffered many falls during her constant wandering, last year resulting in a broken arm, but the carers were always quick at keeping us informed and up to date with measures they put in place to keep her safe.
Mum had her 90th birthday last year and the staff allowed us to take over their rest room for a few hours to enable the family to have a small party for her, an act we are very grateful for.
Her health deteriorated quite quickly over the last few weeks and we were welcomed at any time, offered drinks and even a meal at times to enable us to spend precious time with mum.
Sadly she passed away last week but the care and love that mum was given by the staff was very evident and we could not have asked for more.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience with us during what must have been an incredibly difficult time for you and your family.

On visiting my friend, I have been very impressed with the reception I have received, the friendliness of staff. My friend is so happy, which is the most important thing, she feels safe. The activities are to a high standard. My friend looks well looked after. The care given seems to be directed around what the resident wants, which I think is so important. I know that my friend enjoys the food and the freedom of choice.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in our home and to hear your positive feedback means a lot to us.

Thank you for your kind words and review. We always encourage visitors. Our residents love seeing their friends and family, including grandchildren and family pets.
My friend seems very happy when I came to see her. Care staff often take her for walks. She seems really settled and Victory has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. She seems to have a close bond with the office manager as well as some of the other staff.

Very happy with the care my father is receiving at Victory Care home. You can really tell the staff care about the residents. The furniture is dated, and canlis dirty. I think better covering choices over material world have been better.

The staff react to my concerns with effect and communicate with me all outcomes. Putting my mind at ease. Care is given on a personal level and helps residents to retain a relationship with their loved ones. A special thank you to two members of staff in particular, also another amazing member of staff. Well done to the management team!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I know the staff will appreciate your kind words. It been a pleasure caring for your mum for the last three years, and hopefully many more years to come.

My brother lived at Victory House for two years. The staff were generally kind-hearted but mostly clueless about dementia and slapdash with tasks. Some had strong foreign accents. His nails were often long and dirty and his hair unwashed: I often had to complete his personal care and finish dressing him. I had to tidy his room strewn with unused bed linen and request towels to shave him. Some staff would change his radio station to their own choice. All his possessions were marked but I still had to sort and remove items that did not belong to him and search for those missing, including a good quality duvet (its replacement was paid for by Victory). The food was high in carbohydrates and often nutritionally poor (jelly, etc.). There did not appear to be any senior staff member ensuring that care standards were met, or any management quality control. There were no dishwashers in the kitchenettes, which may have contributed to two outbreaks of norovirus during his residency.
Victory takes great care to ensure that all complaints are managed. Which is why we opened up an investigation in October. I shared my findings and your family thanked Victory for the care and trouble that we had taken. Our email trail shows that we addressed all new concerns too. When your brother...
Victory takes great care to ensure that all complaints are managed. Which is why we opened up an investigation in October. I shared my findings and your family thanked Victory for the care and trouble that we had taken. Our email trail shows that we addressed all new concerns too. When your brother required additional support, we contacted the relevant health professionals i.e., dietitian and SALT team. Who put your brother on a high calorie and liquid diet. Traditionally, care home staff have lacked diversity! Today's workforce must be more reflective of our culture, which we can draw on for a wider perspective. All our staff members are employed through the most current social care recruitment procedures. I am concerned that you mentioned that we had norovirus, as this is not factual! Your brother never had norovirus. We are sorry that you feel the experience at Victory did not meet your expectations, and we hope that your brother is settling well into his more appropriate placement.
Good to see my friend and staff are always good and friendly.
