Dover House in Dover provides nursing care including support for people with dementia.
The care home maintains contact details for all residents’ family and friends to be used for party invitations, newsletters etc. Staff focus on building relationships with residents’ family and friends as it is recognised how important it is for residents to keep in contact.
At the care home, each care companion is allocated a number of residents each day (usually 6-8 people) to support in all aspects of their daily life.
Companions meet the needs of these residents all day, including at meal times, during activities and night time routines. Staff are encouraged to spend time having a chat with residents as part of their daily routine.
Within this fee, all residents have access to the input of our highly qualified physiotherapist and exception nursing input. The fee also includes access to an array of exciting activities such as Cinema room afternoons, a snack trolley with all the resident favourites that cater for all residents from gluten free and diabetic diet choices. These are at no additional cost unless indicated (e.g. Mini vacations and caravan holidays). A consultation with our highly passionate head chef who comes with a wealth of experience within the care sector to help create a personalised diet plan to ensure that resident health is always optimised. She does this in conjunction with the nursing team and clinical management to ensure that resident weight goals be it for gaining or losing are well supported. Also included within the fee is access to the new resident manager who will be happy to support with any financial advise and signposting as well as practical assistance to access all that one is entitled to for their period in care.

Willow Park Lodge is a beautiful, modern, purpose built care home with facilities that cater for both of my parents, which was previously proving difficult to find as their personal needs are so different. My Father moved in first back in July and was followed several weeks later by my Mother and both of them are happy to be able to still be together. It has a friendly, caring atmosphere and the staff are always happy, which makes it a lovely home for all of the residents to live in and relatives to visit. As we are all getting to know one another, its beginning to feel like 'one big happy family'.
This home is amazing. The attention to detail is exceptional. High standard of cleanliness and thoughtful caring staff. One member of staff told me "it is a privilege to work here". I certainly would recommend it.

A lovely home for the residents. The staff are really great and go the extra mile in looking after and helping everyone there. I can't find anything negative to say about Willow Park Lodge.

I initially went in for respite for 2 weeks. I returned permanently as I was very lonely in my flat. My past experience of care home respite 6 years ago were bad. However, at Willow Park, I am treated with care and respect and am far from lonely.

I have done 4 or 5 visits so far and I very sincerely like the place, the staff and the various rooms. I feel so very welcome and there is a friendly attitude by staff, the chef and others. When asked by friends and neighbours about what it is like etc, I have only two words, 'very nice'.

As the Resident Manager at Dover House, I bring over six years of dedicated experience to a role that blends compassion, professionalism, and a deep commitment to quality care. My main responsibility, although not the only part of my role, is conducting thorough assessments to ensure that every prospective resident finds not just a place to live, but a true home. I take pride in helping individuals and families navigate what can be a challenging time, always striving to match their needs with the supportive environment we offer.Whilst I really enjoy many aspects of my role, what I love most is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference—whether it's guiding a resident through their transition or offering reassurance to a concerned family member. At Dover House, we believe in person-centred care, and I work closely with our team to ensure every resident feels safe, respected, and valued. My approach is rooted in empathy, transparency, and a genuine desire to help people thrive.

I have been part of the Dover House family for about three years, working as the Deputy Manager. My daily role involves assisting the registered manager with the smooth running of the home, supporting and guiding our wonderful team, conducting monthly audits, maintaining compliance and regulatory standards and supporting our residents and their families with their day-to-day needs.
I’m naturally caring, lively, and passionate about my work because I love being able to put smiles on people’s faces; sometimes it’s just the little things that make the biggest difference, making the day brighter and easier. What I love most about working here is the free-spirited family vibe and our wonderful team who always go above and beyond, creating a home that is warm, welcoming and supportive for all.

My name is Aretha Dolphy. I am the finance administrator at Dover House. I transferred to Dover house in 2023 from another home within the group. My main role is to deal with the day-to-day finances of the home, such as invoices, bills, statements, payroll, etc. I have worked in care for 10 years with clients with learning disabilities, which has made me a very compassionate and attentive person. I really enjoy my interaction with and relationship I have with the residents, although my job is more back office, I love the time I get to speak to the residents and make them smile. I look forward to each day coming to Dover House, as I have experienced a lot of love here.

My name is Lindah, and I am the Head Cook. For me, preparing meals here isn’t just about nutrition, it’s about comfort, dignity, and care. Food can bring back memories, lift spirits, and provide a sense of routine and joy, especially for elderly residents.
I enjoy getting to know the residents personally, learning their preferences, and adapting meals to suit their individual needs. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how something as simple as a favourite dish can brighten someone's day. I also value the team environment—we all work together with one goal: to provide the best care possible.
