Tunbridge Wells Care Centre is located in a pleasant residential area of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It offers person-centred nursing, dementia and palliative care, plus all the facilities required to provide maximum comfort for residents.
First impressions are important and when residents enter the chandelier-lit reception area with its airy double-height atrium, they get a strong sense of the quality of the accommodation and lifestyle they will enjoy here. And a warm welcome from the receptionist is typical of the homely environment residents and their families can expect when they join the 'family'.
It is the culture of kindness, respect and consideration that sets Tunbridge Wells Care Centre apart, and staff aim to make residents feel completely comfortable and at home, whatever level of care is needed.
The home offers accommodation for 70 residents in bright, spacious and well-furnished rooms with ensuite facilities spread over three floors. There is lift access throughout, and all areas, including the garden, are wheelchair accessible.
Nursing and care staff are on hand 24/7 on each floor, and they are supported by the domestic team via daily cleaning, laundry and housekeeping services, as well as the administration, facilities, activities and catering teams.
The spacious lounges on each floor are comfortably furnished and equipped with TVs, games and books. These communal areas provide relaxed and intimate spaces where residents can socialise with guests or other residents, and bigger areas where activities take place. The dedicated hair salon provides on-site hairdressing services and is popular with residents.
The large, landscaped garden is a pleasant and comfortable space for activities, socialising or watching the home’s resident ducks at play on a pleasant day!
On fine days, it's the perfect place for a cup of tea and some freshly baked pastries.

Always fantastic care from all the staff, rooms cleaned every day, regular updates on the care plan and always called directly to be informed of any treatment needed. Nothing is too much trouble, we feel very lucky to have our relative there.

Thank you, the care staff work hard to ensure each and every resident is well looked after, and the housekeeping team pride themselves on cleaning every room on a daily basis, how they do it amazes me.
My mum stayed here after a stay in hospital and was so well looked after, she gained all the weight she lost in hospital very quickly. The care staff are all patient and kind and all the residents are content. She enjoyed the activities, games, and food and we are very grateful.

Thank you for this review, the staff at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre really do care, they go above and beyond daily with each resident to ensure all their needs are met. The chef makes delicious meals and the cakes always look delicious.

Thank you for such a lovely review, we are lucky with room sizes and each room has its own wet room. The chef makes everything from scratch, so it's real homely food.

Tunbridge Wells Care Centre is like home-from-home. Mum was cared for beautifully by lovely carers. Nursing staff were on the ball/kept you informed. Doctors visited regularly. An online portal allowed updates on a daily basis. Mum's room/en-suite was cleaned daily and we never found it dirty. The food was good with lots of choice. Residents were encouraged to eat or were helped. Residents can wander around the floor where they reside with no restriction, but they are secure. Daily activities were varied. Mum would be up dancing/enjoying the games, the live singers and coffee mornings held in reception. She enjoyed the beautiful garden and the ducks walking around. We sadly lost our mum in July, but we know she was well looked after and so were we as a family. This care home should have a CQC rating of excellent. We spent most of every day/all day with our mum, as there is no restriction on visiting. We would highly recommend this home.
Thank you for a lovely review, your mum became our family along with you, your brother and your dad. We all had her best interests at heart. The great team at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre pride themselves on the family feel of the home and I'm glad you experienced it too.

My brother has been in the Care Centre for several years now, and I cannot praise the care he receives too highly. All the staff, whatever their status, are warm, friendly, truly caring and draw out the best in him, talking to him about his pet subjects. Their communication with me is also extremely good. He always looks clean and tidy, and he is extremely happy there, loving the food, activities and his surroundings. The building is light and beautifully designed, and the garden is a delight, where he spends many happy hours. Above all, the Centre is spotlessly clean and smells fresh, unlike other care homes which I visited in the past, in respect of my mother and aunt, and more recently, when looking for a home for my brother. I feel very grateful that the Centre was recommended to me, and I now recommend it to others whenever the opportunity arises.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a lovely review; your brother has many friends in the home, residents and staff, he loves to spend time in the garden, and in the evening he walks around to check all the outside gates are locked, informing the staff that he has completed the checks. I know he loves the ducks and spends many happy hours watching them in the garden.
The home is kept very clean, and his washing is undertaken on a daily basis.
Dad is showered daily and always looks presentable when we visit.

Thank you for a lovely review, the team here work extremely hard to maintain the high standards and cleanliness throughout the home. The care staff enjoy their roles and this shows in the care they provide for each and every resident.
My mum is in very good hands in this care home. The carers are very polite, charming and very professional. They have lots of stimulating activities, someone comes in once a month and plays live music (all the old classics) and you'd be surprised how many get singing along. A wonderful site to see....
My mum is in very good hands in this care home. The carers are very polite, charming and very professional. They have lots of stimulating activities, someone comes in once a month and plays live music (all the old classics) and you'd be surprised how many get singing along. A wonderful site to see. It was my mum's birthday in June and we as a family had a 'quiet room' to have a small celebration, unbeknown to us the kitchen had cooked Mum a beautiful birthday cake and some of the carers bought it in singing 'Happy Birthday'! That meant a lot to Mum and to us. All of their care is logged and you can access it through a portal. As a family, we are all extremely happy with the care Mum/wife is receiving and wouldn't want Mum to be cared for anywhere else.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we all love a Birthday here, any chance to sing and eat cake. I am glad you are finding the communication portal useful, as it's documented in 'real' time you are able to see what your loved one is doing at any time during the day or night.
I visited my uncle on the 25th of June. Excellent reception, so helpful. The home was immaculate, his room was cool and airy on such a hot day. The staff were courteous and could not do enough.

Thank you for such a wonderful review, all the departments at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre work together to make a home. I will share your compliments with the team.
Always friendly and helpful staff. Room and bed always clean, sister well cared for and we know in very safe hands. Sadly I always find underwear in her drawers that doesn’t belong to her, I expect this can sometimes be difficult.

Thank you for this review, our housekeeping team works hard to keep the home clean and tidy. I'm sorry you have found incorrect clothes in the room, we try and ensure all clothing is labelled and have a machine in the home to do this, if you have any clothes that require labelling, we can do this for you.
My mother has had excellent care, the staff are always there and are very helpful, they show compassion, and there is always an activity for her to participate in. They always let me know how she is and she has regular health checks.

Thank you for this lovely review, we are lucky with our activity team, there is always something going on for residents to join in with, and now we have the ducks keeping everyone entertained.

The home is always spotlessly clean and fresh and the staff are always warm and welcoming.
Our relative is happy and enjoys living at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre. He has come more and more out of his shell, which is a joy for us to witness.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Tunbridge Wells Care Centre, who are also fortunate to have an excellent GP attending to the residents.
Thank you to all the staff, for your kindness and compassion.
It has been a joy to watch how your loved one has relaxed and settled into Tunbridge Wells Care Centre, our housekeeping team work very hard to keep the home in such great condition.

I am very happy with the care staff, nursing staff and the activities ladies. They are always very caring and happy and nothing is too much trouble. They always have time to listen. I am always kept informed about anything to do with my mum's well-being. The activities ladies are wonderful. They encourage Mum to get involved even though sometimes she doesn't want to! Keep up your wonderful work.
Thank you for a lovely review, I will hand this over to the wonderful team here at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre. The activities team are always coming up with new ideas to get everyone involved, today we've had poetry and quizzes. We are looking at having a summer BBQ for residents and family members so keep your eye out for the dates on our notice boards.

This was a wonderful safe haven for my mother who was disabled and suffered dementia through Covid, she was normally a very independent woman who took herself out daily until Covid struck then she really struggled and it was dangerous living alone. She loved the centre, especially the company from staff and patients. I just wish she had longer there, unfortunately, she has passed away but I can only say a big thank you for giving her pleasure in her final months.
Dear Marian, thank you very much for your review. She is very much missed by staff and other residents. We would like to offer you and your family our sincere condolences and our very best wishes for the future.
The staff are so caring, helpful and patient.
Nothing is too much trouble. The bedrooms and lounge areas are very comfortable and everywhere is spotless.
I appreciate very much that my father is being so well looked after.

All the staff are friendly, caring and supportive. Mum has been at the care home for 2 years now. She settled in very well and is treated with respect and dignity. The activities and being surrounded by company have helped her wellbeing. A good variety of meals on the menu, especially the puddings!

The catering team enjoy providing a wide a varied menu, which gets adapted monthly following feedback from the residents.
I’m very impressed with the home. Very welcoming, the staff are all happy and friendly and I am happy to say Mum was well looked after and I was kept in touch by phone about any problem Mum had. Thanks for caring.

Thank you for a lovely review. Our team pride themselves in the person-centred care that they provide, ensuring families are kept up to date with any changes.
Very happy with the staff, food and cleanliness of the home. If there had been any issues with Mum I have always been contacted straight away. I feel that Mum is safe and happy with her surroundings and that is very important to me and my sister.

Thank you for this review; we have just recruited a new chef, so it's good to hear that the food is good. The staff here at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre are very caring, and that shows as the residents feel safe and happy to be here.
My husband has been in the home for just over 4 years. He loved the activities and was a lively participant until October last year when his health took a turn for the worst. Since then he has been cared for with such attention and compassion. I have no hesitation in recommending Tunbridge Wells...

Thanks you for a lovely review, I know the staff have become very fond of you over the years too. As you have experienced, we have very dedicated and caring staff at Tunbridge Wells Care Centre, who continue to provide person-centred care to each and every resident.
My husband has dementia, but they still manage to get him to join in a few activities and eat in the dining hall. Also very good at getting him mobile.

Our staff on the Grosvenor Unit know our residents very well and they care for them in a very person-centred way, they know how to ensure all residents get involved in the activities even if it's just for a while.
