Tenterden House provides long and short-stay residential and nursing care. From Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, MS and other complex and long term conditions, Tenterden House offers care for older people with a wide range of care needs.

Set in 13-acres of beautiful gardens, the home has been skilfully converted to meet residents’ needs without sacrificing any of its Victorian charm. The home offers a warm and homely environment. The home benefits from lots of communal space, indoor and outside space for residents and relatives to enjoy.

Care packages are regularly assessed for developing needs and tailored to palliative, convalescence and respite needs. Working closely with the local hospital, the home also offers a rehabilitation pathway to help improve mobility and independence with visiting occupational therapists and physiotherapists.

They go the extra mile to help residents enjoy their time here. From helping a resident who previously had a stroke to complete a marathon, to putting on social events with their neighbouring Bupa care home, Allington Court.

There’s a real sense of community at the home. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests.

To all of the staff at Tenterden, every single person who works at this care home, we want to express our gratitude for the daily goodwill and kindnesses that everyone of you displayed towards our very special mum. Our experience of Tenterden Care Home cannot be relayed or commended enough. We know
our mum received sweetness + was attended to with care and dignity. From the small details of knowing what she liked at lunch times, without her having to ask + relaxed bright faces there at every turn. we really are impressed and cannot commend Tenterden enough for the attention shown.

As I was a first time resident, to holiday respite care for 3 weeks.
Tenterden House was as expected. As my wife spent some weeks as a resident with health issues earlier in the year.
Tenterden House certainly felt homely and all staff extremely helpful & friendly in all aspects at my wellfare. The
food was excellent and well presented. My room was just right for my needs, ensuite, etc.

I needed a week's convalescence after having a hip replacement. I was looked after very well indeed. Everyone was kind and considerate. The food was good and plentiful, and nicely served. (I had breakfast and every meal in my room but took lunch in the dining room). My room was a comfortable ensuite.
I enjoyed being able to sit in the nice gardens and try out my crutches on the circular walkway. I also enjoyed company of other residents, some younger and some old. People recovering from strokes, or just needing elder care.

I can not thank the team at Tenterden House enough for the incredible care and compassion they showed my husband during his time there. The staff were warm and welcoming and genuinely dedicated to making every day as comfortable and dignified as possible; nothing was ever too much trouble. They treated
him with such kindness and respect. The atmosphere in the home is one of real warmth; it felt like a family. Thank you to everyone who made a very difficult time that much easier.

I cannot thank the staff enough here for making my mothers move to full time care a most friendly and welcoming experience in this most difficult time. So attentive and helpful to the resident and family visitors. They all go out their way to assist and proactively ensure that care is of a very good
standard . I am reassured
that this care is normal for a most well run care home .Alot of other homes could really learn alot from Tenterden and how to care for the elderly , Thank you all

Review from John N (Son of Resident) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Dad has been a resident at Tenterden for 22 months after a difficult time following Mum's death, then periods of hospitalisation for an increasing number of falls. Everyone at Tenterden was incredibly helpful and welcoming from the outset. The staff and managers are wonderful, they understand what's
important to Dad and go out of their way to proactively and considerately ensure he is well cared for.


Day to day care and support is well managed with care planning regularly updated with a focus on Dad's needs. His room has an ensuite and facilities are well maintained, with regular cleaning. The Chef has taken the time to understand Dad's preferences. There is emphasis on involvement in activities but recognition that quiet time is also important if preferred. The nursing team have patiently managed and progressed a number of subsequent medical issues.


It is very reassuring to know Dad is being cared for compassionately, in a safe environment, under the supervision of nursing staff

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Tenterden House Care HomeThank you for your lovely words. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we hope Tenterden House Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. We are pleased to hear that you are impressed with the high standards of care provided, the clean environment and the variety of meals provided. Thank you for choosing Tenterden House for your Dad's stay.

My Mum was admitted to Tenterton House for 6 weeks as she was non weight bearing following a fracture of her femur. They were very accommodating taking her at short notice. Overall we were very pleased with the stay. My Mother did find the mornings frustrating as she is used to getting up and dressed
promptly, but as she required assistance she often was not ready until after 11am.
Thank you to all the staff.

I was very impressed with the excellent and professional service provided by all the staff there. Although my late mother wasn't able to take advantage of all the facilities during her very short stay there, I am sure that she would have enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend this location to
anyone thinking about going into a home.

I was recommended for my mother to be a resident in Tenterden House, and I am so pleased that I accepted the advice. It is a well-run care home with plenty of staff who are well-trained. The care home is kept spotlessly clean, my mother's room is a nice size, and the home feels 'homely'. The food is
really good, a variety of meals, and plenty of activities to keep everyone stimulated. Overall, my mother is looked after well. Thank you, Tenterden House, and I would definitely recommend them.

Our mother was given the best care we could ever have asked for. Her every need was catered for on the physical and emotional level. The team was clearly dedicated and reflected a deep love and compassion for her. We were given detailed reports on her condition every day. My sister, who visited our

Mum is treated very well by all the staff and they try and include her in activities but she is not really interested in the games/television but does take part in a few things.

My wife was with Tenterden House Care Home for five weeks (following hospital discharge) and she passed away there. She was cared for gently and respectfully and looked after by the nurses and Tenterden's GP. As a family after the initial settling in we felt supported and listened to, and on the day
she passed away the home made space for the family to visit and we felt cared for, and our needs accommodated. Thank you Tenterden House.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Tenterden House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.841 for Tenterden House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 220 Ratings = 4.841
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tenterden House Care Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
