Fountains Lodge provides personalised nursing and residential care to people living with cognitive impairments, including dementia care. The purpose built home in Tunbridge Wells offers short stays too (including palliative care), to help both carers and their loved ones at times when they need a break or a little extra support.
All bedrooms are tastefully decorated and offer en suite facilities, while some come with patio doors providing direct garden access. It also has a suite suitable for couples.
The home has its own café as well as lounges and private dining areas for family and friends to come and enjoy when visiting their loved ones or celebrating a birthday or anniversary together.
Situated in Southborough, the home is a few minutes from all its amenities – shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and has good transport and road links, making it ideally located for visiting family and friends.
Staff take great care to focus on the person. Its important for residents to feel at home, so it creates a friendly environment with an individually appropriate balance of care and independence.
Enjoying food is an important part of life. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients and try to cater for all ethnicity groups. Soon after a resident arrives at Fountains Lodge, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.
There’s a real sense of community at the home. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. So whether your loved one already has a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in.

Fountains Lodge is a warm and welcoming place where my mother in law feels comfortable and safe. It is reassuring for us to know that she is well cared for and settled. The staff obviously know the residents well and engage with them in a kind and caring way; a friendly word or a gentle squeeze of the hand means such a lot to mum. We couldn't have chosen a better place.

Christmas Jumper Day. I had a lovely morning with Mum at Fountain Lodge today. There was tea, mince pies, lots of selfies, and laughs. The staff put a lot of effort into the day—everyone had a Christmas jumper on and was very good at making residents feel special and have a good time.

When my sister-in-law could no longer cope alone due to Dementia and Parkinsons she moved to Fountains Lodge. I was worried she would miss her home but she loves it at Fountains it looks on the staff as friends.

Lovely and caring staff and we are always kept up to date with his activities and doings. Residents all seem cared for and content. Facilities are always clean and homely. Regular group activities to get residents out of their rooms and interact.

Mum has been in Fountains Lodge since May 23 and despite deteriorating due to her dementia, she is really happy and content. All the staff are amazing, it's like having an extended family for mum and us. From the welcome we get from the wonderful reception/office team, and the staff on the nurses' stations (sometimes even a hug), to a friendly chat and updates from the carers, and the inclusion from the activities team. I could not be more appreciative of all they do for us as a family.

The staff at Fountains Lodge are truly amazing at what they do. They are all extremely friendly, professional, helpful and take the time to get to know the residents and their families. Whenever myself and my daughter visit, we are always warmly welcomed by all staff. The care home has a wide range of activities for all residents including morning quizzes, and exercise classes and also often has singers come in to sing to all the residents. They also occasionally go out on little outings, my mum recently went to a garden centre and had lunch there! We were unsure about moving my mum into a home. We didn't know how well she would do or cope with such a big change. But in the short space of a few months, she has settled amazingly, and made friends with a few of the residents there and also the staff. Thank you so much Fountain Lodge and all the staff there for being so supportive and amazing!
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

Dad has been at Fountains Lodge for just over a year. Overall he receives really good care and the staff have a lovely manner with the residents. Staff turnover is low which I think says a lot about the carers. Staff are very friendly and welcoming through from reception to carers to Activities team. Can't fault the Activities schedule and the engagement - there is always something going on. My dad doesn't always want to go to them but the staff have been amazing in persuading him and I often see pictures of him enjoying himself at activities on the Facebook group. My dad is happy and content and I would recommend Fountains Lodge.
Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased to hear that you are impressed with the delicious meals, activities and high standards of care provided at Fountains Lodge Care Home. It is lovely to hear that your Dad is enjoying his time with us and he is happy. If there is anything we can do to make your Dad's stay as comfortable as possible, please do let us know.
The staff are always friendly and seem to know my mother well.

My father has been in this home for just over 2 years and he's very happy and settled. He has Alzheimer's. My mother last year and beginning of this year became very seriously ill and then unfortunately passed away. We as a family couldn't get into the home to see dad as much as we would've liked but we knew how settled and looked after dad was at Fountain's Lodge so that helped us so much through that period and made a very difficult time easier for us. The staff on the residential floor were so thoughtful and caring and still are! Would recommend Fountains Lodge to anyone who is looking for Dementia care for their loved ones.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to help you are your family through such a difficult time and we are sorry for your loss. We are pleased to hear that your father is happy and settled and that you can feel at ease knowing he is receiving high-quality care. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

My husband has been residing in Fountains Lodge for three months, after being transferred from hospital, and it has been very good for him and my family members. My husband can no longer do many things and needs help for almost everything, due to his advanced Alzheimer's and the care and friendship extended to him and myself, by all the staff we come in contact with has been superb. The building is well-designed for its purpose and well-maintained, making sure the residents are completely safe.
