Kents Hill is an established purpose-built care home offering elderly residential, nursing and dementia care. A professional team has furnished the Home to an exceptionally high standard, providing elegance and comfort.
The “home from home” feel at Kents Hill is created by the dedicated staff who have been selected not only for their professional ability but also for their commitment to truly making a difference for the people in their care.
Resident’s rooms are spacious and feature en suite facilities. The communal areas are at the centre of what makes Kents Hill a real community whether it be at mealtimes or when enjoying activities. There are no fixed visiting hours so friends and family can come and see residents at any time.
Activities and day trips are an integral part of the resident’s well being. The activities coordinators encourage and help residents continue with existing interests and also introduce new hobbies.
The minibus is used frequently to take residents on day trips near and a little further from the Home. The trips are very popular and recently, days out to Woburn Safari Park, Middleton Hall, Frosts Garden Centre, Stoke Goldington Small Gauge Railway and Linslade Canal have been greatly enjoyed.
The dining experience at Kents Hill boasts fine home cooking by a professional Chef who has created a menu alongside the residents to reflect the interests and tastes of all.
Respite care at Kents Hill is very popular and enables those wishing to experience what the Home has to offer before making a full commitment.
In October 2015, 15 brand new luxury suites opened along with a new lounge, library, salon and bistro all adding to the style and comfort the home offers and in 2018 a refurbishment of the communal areas and one side of the nursing suite took place.

My husband has been at this care home for over 4 years so I have come to know the staff very well. I feel there is a lighter atmosphere since the new manager arrived. The receptionists are always so kind and welcoming, and everyone - cleaners, laundry people and carers - are so friendly and always happy to have a little chat. There is a new hospitality lady who always offers me a cold drink which is lovely on a hot day. As my husband is on the nursing floor, I must praise the nurses for their care of him, and they always keep me informed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review it really is a team effort at Kent's Hill and we really appreciate that you have recognised this and feel supported by the whole team .
Although my Mother only spent 8 days in the care of Kents Hill due to the severity of her condition, she could not have been in any better environment. At all times the nursing staff, care assistants, reception, orderlies & cleaning staff were caring & considerate in every aspect. They all afforded...

My mum has been a resident for just over a year at Kents Hill Care Home. The staff look after her extremely well and are caring and kind. They not only look after her - they also look after her family. They take great care of her husband/my dad when he comes to visit and are empathetic and kind to me too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home for friend's 'loved ones'. I can't pinpoint any particular staff member - they are all lovely. Thank you for looking after Mum so well.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly touched to hear how well your mum and your whole family has been cared for. It means the world to our team to know they've made a positive difference.

Mum been in care home since 2024 and overall myself and my brothers are very happy with the care given to mum. Sadly she doesn't communicate well so she is not using many of the facilities or taking advantage of the activities which look very good. Communication from the nursing staff is always very good and I'm always updated with any changes. The staff are always very courteous and professional and treat Mum with dignity. Overall I am very happy with the standard of care given and would recommend this care home.

The qualified nurses are excellent and knowledgeable and look after him really well. When we had a meeting with social services, they remarked how impressed they were with the nurse's in depth knowledge of my father compared to staff in other homes.
Everyone from the cleaners to the receptionists chats to my dad and make him feel special and cared for.
Whenever he has been admitted to hospital he always asks me to take him back to the care home straightaway!
The staff are equally kind to other residents who aren't as articulate as my dad and treat everyone with respect.
I would definitely recommend Kent's Hill
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It means a great deal to the team to know that you feel confident and reassured about the care your father receives at Kents Hill.

My mother has been living on the dementia floor at Kents Hill Care Home for few months, and our family has been consistently impressed with the quality of care she receives.
The staff are genuinely compassionate and attentive, always ensuring that Mum's individual needs and preferences are respected and met with dignity.
The home has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and is always clean and well-maintained, which helps Mum feel comfortable and settled. A wide range of activities-from gentle exercises to arts and crafts-keeps residents engaged and supports their overall wellbeing.
Communication with the care team is excellent. They keep us regularly updated on Mum's health and are always quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

My nan has continually been made to feel comfortable making fantastic relationships with all of the staff in the home they all treat her with the utmost respect and kindness they value the dignity, she deserves.
As a carer myself for many years, I was very skeptical about how she was going to be treated and I can't honestly say with my hand on my heart I wouldn't change it for the world all of the staff on the nightingale floor have become an extended family.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your positive comments regarding Kents Hill Care home and especially the Nightingale team. We are glad your experience reflects the high standards of quality care we hold ourselves to here at Kents Hill, Maria Mallaband Care Group.

I am unsure if I would recommend the home. Head office needs to be far more supportive and put some of the vast revenue they take and put back into the maintenance of the grounds and bedrooms. My mother's room needs attention and so does the bathroom. The garden is a mess with dangerous slabs which you have known about for some time. There have been some issues with quality of care and items going missing but have been resolved. Management needs more support from head office. No reply from email to head office!
Very caring staff - kind and gentle. Property - clean, tidy and smells fine. Residents treated with dignity at all times. Rooms adequate, but comfortable.

Always a friendly reception from the staff when I visit my sister at Kents Hill. Rooms and communal spaces are always clean and well kept. Feels like a home from home and the residents feel it is their home. Care is excellent, with just the right mix of professionalism and informality. Would certainly recommend it.
Our mum is so happy at Kents Hill and I can see why. Every member of staff is positive, smiley and always willing to talk. The home is exceptionally clean and decorated modernly - from the inviting reception to the cosy dining area. Entertainment is always available and the staff work tirelessly to...
