Rochester Care Home has created a relaxed and homely environment for all residents.
The building is single-storey and purpose-built with four areas. Each area had 14 bedrooms around a lounge/diner. Residents are welcome to join in activities in any of the areas. There’s plenty of space to sit outside at Rochester – residents have a choice of gardens and courtyards to enjoy.
CQC has given Rochester a rating of ‘Good’ (March 2017).
There are 56 bedrooms at Rochester. Many of the bedrooms look out or have direct access to one of the gardens.
All rooms have en-suites or washbasins in the room. The rooms without an en-suite have accessible shower rooms and bathrooms nearby.
Each bedroom’s front door is a different colour, with a door knocker, which makes it more recognisable. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms.
Personal possessions help residents feel at home, and provide extra stimulation and time for reminiscence. They also give staff an important understanding of a resident’s personality, history and what’s important to them.
Trips out include the garden centre, and even the pub on occasion, if that’s what residents choose to do that day.
Animals are always really popular visitors at Rochester. As well as therapy dogs, they have larger four-legged friends in. On a sunny day, the garden is a great spot for residents to have an ice cream, followed by cuddles with a Shetland pony or a donkey!
Rochester has church visits every week and often have local schoolchildren coming into sing. A local consultant and his family come and volunteer.
- And more.
In fact, we have NO HIDDEN FEES and will never ask you to pay more than your agreed weekly fee.

Based on my visits and communication with the home, dad always seems happy and content. He has been a resident for 3 and a half years, so it means a lot to me that he is looked after so well. He has a few health problems and staff appear very attentive.

Thank you.
My dad has dementia and Alzheimer's and my mum is his carer, but my mum had a massive stroke and we needed to put my dad in care. The manager and her staff were amazing, so kind and compassionate. My dad has settled and we think it may be his long term home.

We had to put my father into emergency respite care as our mother (his full-time carer) was taken into hospital. The management and staff were absolutely brilliant and continue to be so.

Mum has improved on her wellbeing. Over a year ago when I came she appeared frightened it is really nice to see how she has settled, happy and put on weight. She appears to be engaged in conversation with her family and other residents.

I feel that my mum is extremely happy in her care home, she says that she feels everybody has their arms wrapped around her! That's because the carers quite often do. All of her needs are catered for and I do not have any concerns regarding her welfare.

My friend feels so safe and secure. She would recommend it to anyone! She was afraid of coming into care and didn't want to lose her independence but has found she has new independence. Staff appear excellent, always busy and engaging with residents and visitors.

I have been present when there have been activities going on and have loved seeing her join in.
Overall I am so relieved that my mum has settled into life at the home.

Sometimes dementia can cause extreme upset to family members all the staff at Rochester Care Home have had time to make sure I'm ok as well as tending to my mum's needs. My mother has now moved for end of life care and I have visited residents at Rochester and the team continue to show kindness.

Only improvements perhaps: chair in a room? The resident is disturbed by checks at night and wakes her up. Not sure if there's a way around this?
