  • Wombwell Hall Care Home, Gravesend
Positioned at Wombwell Gardens in the town of Northfleet Wombwell Hall is a 120-bed care home offering specialist residential nursing care and palliative care for those living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, confusion, and other similar conditions.

The purpose-built care home is in a quieter part of Northfleet’s urban community. Surrounded by green space and tree canopies, the home is set in a pleasant and peaceful position yet benefits from easy access to town-based amenities.

Having recently benefitted from a thoughtfully designed refurbishment, the communal areas such as the dining rooms, lounges, day rooms, conservatory, hair salon and treatment rooms have been designed to enhance the daily lives of everyone who calls Wombwell Hall their home.

Kindness is at the heart of everything the care team does at Wombwell Hall; person-centred care and wellbeing is top priority. Personalised care plans consider not only medical, personal, and dietary needs, but also the individual's likes and dislikes, religious preferences, and suggestions from family members.

As part of a person-centred care delivery plan, individuals are encouraged and supported to participate in their pastimes and hobbies or embark on learning something new in a fun and inclusive environment.

Wombwell Hall has many places in which to relax, dine, exercise, socialise and be creative. The landscaped garden and patio are the perfect spot to spend time with friends and family, or with one of the many neighbourhood groups or volunteers who visit.

My brother has been a resident in Wombwell Hall Care Home for three and a half years and I consider that he has been well looked after. He is completely bedridden, his room has a patio door and this is important to him as he can see trees, squirrels and birds and the flowers in his hanging basket. His
carers treat him with dignity and respect and seem to be genuinely in his welfare.
I would like to thank all the staff at Wombwell, including the sisters, carers, cleaners, laundry staff, chefs, gardener and maintenance men, who strive to make the residents' lives as comfortable as possible. I always feel welcome when I visit the home.

Reply from Lisa Cox, Administrator and Customer Relations Support at Wombwell Hall Care Home

Wow! We truly appreciate your feedback! Thank you. Your review has brightened our day and serves as a constant reminder of why we love what we do. We’ll continue striving to provide outstanding care to make every resident's life as comfortable as possible.
Once again, thank you for choosing us and for the incredible rating. Your feedback motivates us to keep raising the bar and sets the standard for excellence in everything we do. Best wishes from all at Belmont Healthcare.

Patient hygiene care is not up to standard, more care needs to be taken when washing, often find food down her clothes and around her mouth, also excrement under finger nails.
She seems quite happy being there but then she does sleep for most of the time.
Therefore the marks I give relate mainly
to the personal hygiene care.

Reply from Andrea Vinten, Head of Communications at Wombwell Hall Care Home

Thank you for sharing your rating with us and for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your time taken to provide us with honest feedback. We are pleased to hear that your Mother-In-Law is happy but we're sorry to learn that the personal care hadn't appeared to have been up to our usual high standards at the time of your visits. We addressed your issues with the care team and straight away, implemented some changes to routines, meaning your initial concerns will not arise again. After speaking with your family, it is nice to hear that you've already seen an improvement and that you're much happier since we implemented those changes. We would like to assure you of our best intentions at all times, from the Belmont Healthcare Team.

I could not praise the nursing staff and carers at this home enough. They gave my mum such a wonderful experience while she was in their care. The staff are friendly, caring and very professional. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

My mother has been in the drop-down unit in Copperfield House for 2 weeks after being discharged from the hospital. The staff have made her feel very welcome and have reassured her at times when she is worrying about something. Her room is clean and very cosy and she has been enjoying the food. I feel
happy that he is being looked after well, she is moving to Pickwick House in the next few days and I'm sure she will be happy there.

Reply from Lisa Cox, Administrator and Customer Relations Support at Wombwell Hall Care Home

We're so pleased to hear you feel content that your mother is being looked after well in our care. It is always so nice to hear words like 'very welcome' and 'reassured her' used to describe our staff. Thank you also for your positive comments regarding our home and team. It is our pleasure caring for your mother here. We hope she settles in well at Pickwick. Best wishes from all at Belmont Healthcare.

We could not have asked for a more caring environment for Dad during his stay on Pickwick at Wombwell Hall Care Home.
The staff showed compassion, sympathy and empathy towards him every day. We were looked after as a family too. The staff worked hard and with dedication. We will always be grateful
for the care he received while in their care. Many thanks.

My brother was taken into Wombwell Hall in March and he had been taken off of medication for prostate cancer. Your staff, nurses and carers could not be faulted, they were kind and patient. He could not have received better care and attention.

My mother has only just been a resident for a couple of weeks, she seems happy enough. A resident who was in a room next to her and played music in the night has been moved after Mum complained. The food is good and they will often make her something else if she doesn’t fancy the dinner. The staff seem
proactive and are always popping in on her to see how she is.

My mother was having trouble finding a chair that she could sit comfortably in. The administrator at head office arranged for one to be provided to Mum, as I couldn’t afford to purchase Mum her own one. She was so helpful. I can’t explain how grateful I am for her help and for the director and his help
too. Made my mum’s life so much better. Thank you again.

Extremely nice place. Staff very helpful.
My mother is very happy while she recovers from a fracture to her knee.
My late father also received a great deal of loving care from everyone and it's lovely to see that this loving care is still the case today.

Hello Jennifer, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your wonderful review.

Whilst I appreciate you have not long taken over this care home, I'm very disappointed in the lack of care standards and other care values at Wombwell Hall Care/Nursing Home. This is partly due to, I believe the care Home providers prior to Belmont taking over, although at present I personally feel
improvements are needed and to be sustainable even on “Belmonts Watch”.
Some of the staff are lovely, caring and efficient others are not.
Therefore I cannot give a great review as you may have hoped at this present time.

Reply from Clare Swan, Operations Director at Wombwell Hall Care Home

Thank you for your review we are of course extremely disappointed that the care standards were not up to expectations. We have a strong set of values and standards as an organization these of course take time to become embedded in the home. We have been working tirelessly since taking the home over 4 months ago and have received very positive feedback from many family members. I see that the review relates to September 2022 when the home was owned by the previous owners, I believe if you visited us again you would see a great improvement. Thank you again for your review we will of course share this with the team and use it to keep improving our service.

Staff are very caring and, although very busy, do their utmost to make our mum happy and comfortable, chatting and cheering her up. The staff are also most helpful to the family, answering questions about our mum and maintaining a friendly relationship with us. Thank you Wombwell Hall staff! The finance
officer has been very helpful, especially when we had to sort out finances at the start of Mother's stay.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.599)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.599) out of 10 for Wombwell Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.599 for Wombwell Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 337 Ratings = 4.599

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wombwell Hall Care Home is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Richard

Richard Lawson

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2025

Richard has enjoyed a varied career. After beginning his post college working life in social care, he then focussed on working with teenagers and young people. This in turn led him, (by accident he will tell you) to take to the high seas, and spent a number of years on cruise ships around the globe. Upon returning to dry land, Richard worked in a number of related industries both in the UK and for a short period abroad - hospitality, entertainment and show management, including media and local radio - he even became an award winner whilst managing a seaside pier and theatre!


However, this led to Rich being headhunted back into health and social care management, which is where he has stayed for the past 15 years. He has worked as a Home Manager, General Manager, Operations Director, Regional Manager and Director - and now is delighted to join Belmont Healthcare as the General Manager at Wombwell Hall. A little care village with a big heart and ambitious plans for the future...


Richard's whole career has centred around the same basic core principles and values, from day one. A love, respect and duty of care for people, a passionate commitment to the most outstanding customer service which includes caring - really, really caring. And that is as true today as it ever was - and what you will find at Wombwell Hall.
