Thank you for your review. I'm so glad that you are happy.
My father was transferred to Tenterden House from hospital for end of life care. The staff were all very caring and he was looked after very well. The room was very nice and my father was happy with the food selection.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept our condolences. Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear about your positive experience and appreciate your comments of our home and will share your comments with the home’s manager
My sister is well looked after at Tenterden and I marvel at how cheerful the staff are given their workload. They are all special staff from top to bottom and I appreciate how difficult it is to recruit such people. (Unfortunately, paperwork is an ever increasing burden and detracts from the care task at times! however, it is a very happy place.
The premises received a makeover this year and provides a very pleasant environment for the guests and visitors. The grounds are very well maintained and provide for a very pleasant setting. It is a very secluded and peaceful location.
Overall it is a very good place and very fit for purpose.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. We are pleased to hear about your positive experience and appreciate your comments about our home and will share your comments with the home’s manager. The Bupa Customer Care Team.
Well - my wife who is in "end stage" of vascular dementia and suffered skin cancer is cared for, her "end of life" stage is cared for with love and compassion - it's a beautiful home and grounds - there is a lot of care goes into running this Bupa home. Thank you.

Our Aunt spent her last few months in the excellent care of the team at Tenterden House. We can't thank them enough for the way they helped us arrange her care, the way the cared for our Aunt, the involvement they gave us and the dignity with which they nursed her through her final days. Each and every team member from the laundry staff, the cleaning staff, the catering staff, the administration staff, the carers, the nurses to the management were exemplary. We were welcome at all times of day and night and the staff didn't only just care for our Aunt they cared for us too. We looked at a number of Nursing Homes before we settled on Tenterden House - many much newer an glossier but they didn't give us the warm feeling we got from Tenterden House and we definitely made the right decision. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, efficient, considerate nursing home for yourself or a relative look no further.
