A recently trained nurse has expanded her role to incorporate massages for residents. She has been treating me several times so far and I find it very beneficial and relaxing. She is very professional in her approach and very caring.

Thank you very much for your kind review Hilary and I'm sure the nurse in question will be delighted that what she is doing is appreciated.
I've found that my friend has had very good care and seems a lot better health wise since he arrived here.

Thank you for review Sylvia, next time you are here visiting your friend I would love to take the opportunity to see how we can improve your friends experience further.
My friend has been a resident in the Signature Miramar Herne Bay for over 5 years now, most of which has been in spent in Cyprus Ward, which is a secure ward where residents with varying degrees of dementia reside. I am a close friend of the resident in question as well as having power of attorney...
I can, in all honesty, say that in all the time my friend has been in this care home, I have had no reason to complain at all. The service offered is first-rate, the staff are friendly and evidently very caring. My friend's physical wellbeing is clearly paramount to the staff but so too is his mental and emotional wellbeing, and to this end, the staff frequently try to involve him in one or more of the many organised in-house activities.
I am always kept informed by telephone of any problems regarding my friend's health or wellbeing, for which I am grateful.
I have nothing but the highest praise for this particular care home.
Thank you for your very kind review.
A pleasant and helpful stay when I needed it to assist my recovery after a major operation. Kind and very courteous treatment by all staff.

Nothing was too much trouble and every member of staff involved in her care and support were so friendly, but at the same time so professional.
A particularly noticeable feature was that the staff themselves treated my mother as though she was their own, and at her life's end, it was so touching to see them visibly affected, despite dealing with life's end being an obvious part of their duties.
A very big thank you in particular to the client liaison manager whose efficiency and professionalism ensured mum's easy transition from hospital (with its inevitable hurdles to jump ) to the Miramar-again nothing was too much trouble and her last few weeks of life were so peaceful and happy.
Having experienced on a daily basis the way the Miramar is run it would be the place should I need care that I would wish to retire to.
Thank you for your kind review and I know I speak for everyone at the Miramar when I say it was a privilege to support you and your Mother at such an important time.

However, my genuine requests are usually dealt with exceptionally, I am never made to feel that I am being unreasonable.
The home is always comfortably warm and the grounds are well kept and safe for elderly people to wonder about. At least as well as I kept my own garden.

I have lived at Signature Miramar 2 1/2 years and find it comfortable, friendly and well run. The care team and nurses are efficient and kindly and available 24/7. Residents meetings are held 3 times monthly - general management, food and beverages and activities and discussions take place with the management team. The restaurant is pleasant, the staff are helpful and the three cooked meals are varied and with a good choice on the menu for each course. There are daily activities of a very varied type and trips are arranged using the Signature Miramar mini bus. I am happy here and consider myself fortunate to be a resident.
Mum enjoyed her stay and was always treated very well, all staff were very kind to her and the food very good.

Overall very good care home. The staff are very helpful and kind. The downside sometimes long waits to get up in the morning and to go back to your room after breakfast.

Thank you for your review Aileen and it was a pleasure having you stay with us. While we will always aim to help you get up and get back to your room as promptly as possible the mornings are very busy for the team so we appreciate your patience and will do our best to be more prompt on future stays.

I am very grateful to be a resident at the Miramar. The care shown to everyone by everyone on the staff is first class. It is a happy home in all respects. The food sometimes lets it down a bit e.g soups used to be home made now made with powder and often very thin that is my only criticism. We are encouraged to take part in as many physical activities as we are capable of, Yoga, Taichi, walks around the garden, and longer walks along the cliffs. The activities staff are excellent, offer a choice of activities to keep our minds active, quizzes, music craft, art class every week and trip out on the mini bus. The home is always clean and the carers always there when you want help. Altogether a good home.

A care home offering assisted living with a scale able support package for people to live independently behind their own front door in good quality accommodation by the sea. The service is at the top end of the market promising 5 star luxury. We used the service for respite care which did not live up to expectation as it was let down by poor team communication, between nursing and care staff. The quality of care and support varies depending on which team of staff were on duty and the model is far more intrusive than clients are led to believe - front door frequently opened and left open by staff doing 2 hourly checks during the night. The experience for my mother was not a positive one so we terminated her stay early at her request.
We appreciate that not everyone feels that they have had a perfect experience every time but coming in to a care home for the first time can take some getting use to and acclimatising to the environment and staff. A few days for some people to settle is not long enough, building good relationships...
We appreciate that not everyone feels that they have had a perfect experience every time but coming in to a care home for the first time can take some getting use to and acclimatising to the environment and staff. A few days for some people to settle is not long enough, building good relationships between care staff and new residents can take time. As shown within the many received reviews we endeavour daily to ensure our residents are wonderfully cared for and receive the highest quality care.
I could not wish for a nicer place to live, nor a more caring staff to look after my wife and others who require help. The management team deserve plaudits for...
I could not wish for a nicer place to live, nor a more caring staff to look after my wife and others who require help. The management team deserve plaudits for their caring leadership and the excellent training they give to their staff.
My wife and I feel most fortunate to have found this "Home", which we now call our own!
Sincerely!
My husband and I have lived here for almost three years. My husbands health began to fail in the summer and he died here in mid September. The care he received from the staff and regular visiting Doctor and the love and support we both received could not have been better.

The food is excellent although I feel there is rather too much cakes, biscuits, ice-cream etc, but that is just me and I know it is very much appreciated by others. I am very content to spend the rest of my days here if I can afford it.

I have been a Registered Nurse for 12 years, starting my career in community nursing within the NHS before moving into care homes in 2018 and joining Miramar Care Home in 2024. My journey in care began at 17, working in a residential home in Larkfield, Kent. Alongside being a Registered Nurse, I am also a Specialist Practitioner District Nurse and was honoured to be awarded the title of Queen’s Nurse in 2022 by the Queen’s Nursing Institute.
At Miramar Care Home, I am proud to lead a compassionate and skilled team, ensuring every resident feels valued, safe, and cared for in a warm environment. I believe a positive atmosphere benefits both residents and staff.
Outside of work, I am married, have two sons and have a menagerie of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, and parrots. I’m also a keen biker and currently ride a Harley-Davidson.
