  • 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.

Found the staff (medical and auxiliary) very helpful and happy and friendly. I felt staff cared how I felt and made sure I was comfortable. I enjoyed the food - a good and varied choice and plenty of it. I was not hungry! I liked the open hours visiting, very convenient as most family and friends work
or have a journey to see me. Also, there were activities offered to keep the brain from going to sleep.

1 - The staff are cheerful, willing and able.
2 - The resident usually as clean and tidy as possible in the circumstances.
3 - The high standard of food most acceptable.

My father is in Pickwick House. The care is superb, I really can't fault it. Since his stroke two years ago, he has been unable to communicate, however, the staff go out of their way to make sure all his needs are taken care of. They laugh and joke with him and genuinely care for him as if he was a
member of their own family.

Although my mum was not at the home very long I would like to thank the staff of 'Weller' Wombwell Hall Nursing Home for making her last few weeks comfortable. My deepest thanks to them for making my final moments with my mum a special one.


The atmosphere in the home was relaxing and jolly at times.

Nothing was too much for the staff and they treated my mum with the upmost respect and dignity.

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.
