  • 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.

In my 3 1/2 years that I have stayed here in Copperfield I have enjoyed myself with the friends I have made here and I hope it will continue for me.
I have got on okay with all the people that work here in this home and everyone here is okay.

I always found this care home extremely helpful, the staff always smiling in difficult situations, they always seem to know what to say and how to handle the residents. It's a hard job and very much undervalued.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has Parkinsons and dementia and is 89 years of age. Since my wife was admitted in June this year, I have visited her every day. From day 1 I have been treated with kindness and friendliness, I feed my wife her dinner always, and the food is excellent and nourishing. There is always a choice
of the two to choose from. The staff, from the matron down to the cleaning, are very good and helpful when I am present, to the residents and visitor. The activities staff are enthusiastic, inventive and have varied programmes.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since the arrival of the manager in Pickwick House at Wombwell Hall, I have noticed a big difference in very little time.
The team appear to be less rushed and there seems to be more of them on duty at any one time.
It is lovely to see more residents in the day room and there is a lot more interaction
with the team.
A trip out to the café this afternoon - how wonderful.
Well done team Pickwick.

I have been very impressed with the care and attention which the staff have given to my husband.
He has been treated with dignity and encouraged to get moving after as spell of six weeks in bed at hospital.
After two weeks he is able to stand out of the chair and beginning to walk again.
The staff
have been very encouraging at all times and this has helped him as well as me.

I visit my husband's auntie here once a week and I can clearly see how hard the staff work. They are extremely patient and eager to give the best possible care to their residents. I am very impressed with the energetic activities team who strive to make each day as fulfilling as possible. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursing staff are very helpful and accommodating. On my pre-visit was shown all over the residence and I was very impressed. Nothing is too much trouble. Since my mother was admitted it has taken a lot of worry and pressure away from me and I now can relax and concentrate on other matters knowing
she is in good hands. The carers are very supportive and very kind, listening to my concerns and putting my mind at rest. I can and will thoroughly recommend Wombwell Hall if asked.

Staff are so helpful and supportive, and go out of their way to assist my mother and keep us informed as to her wellbeing.
She finds it difficult to eat - but has been assisted to find things that suit her.
The room is well decorated and kept clean.

Although I think the staff are dedicated to their jobs, I feel sometimes there seems to be a lack of organisation and urgency to deal with issues.
I appreciate that the staff are under a lot of pressure due to shortage of staff and funding.

My mum was a resdient for over 4 years and in all that time, all the staff have looked after her with dignity and respect. They cared for her as though she was family. We will always be grateful for all their care and help in making mum's last few years as happy as it could be.
Cannot praise the staff
enough.
Thank you.

My husband loves having banter with them.

The home is set in a pleasant, well-kept environment and provides a good variety of meals. On the whole, the staff are very caring but often overworked. The activities team provide a good range of things to do to suit all abilities, supplying help where needed.

My mother has been at Wombwell Hall (Pickwick House) for nearly 3 years. We spent a lot of time investigating all the care homes in the area and found that Wombwell Hall was the best in every respect. The staff are clearly dedicated and caring for all of the residents. It requires a special kind of
dedication to care for the elderly and they have it. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wombwell Hall.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.578)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.578) out of 10 for Wombwell Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.578 for Wombwell Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (33 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.578
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wombwell Hall Care Home is based on 31 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 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
    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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 31 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.

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.
