Mum was only in Charing House for a few weeks for end of life care. She was looked after so well. Staff were kind and efficient on the occasions I saw them interact with mum. The home is lovely, beautifully laid out and the rooms very pleasant and peaceful. Senior staff always had time to update on mum's condition. A good, comfortable place to end her days.
Mum moved into the home in February 2012 until she passed away on 22 May 2018. She was always treated with kindness and dignity even at the very end. The management and carers provided an excellent service during her stay.

We have 2 activity coordinators as such, we have entertainment and activities regularly going on within the home. These are displayed on the activities board in reception, as well as newsletters. All residents are supported and encouraged to take part in activities, but some decline and are much happier to sit and watch, this in itself is an activity at times.
We offer all our residents 3 nutritious meals a day, which are breakfast, lunch and high tea, as well as snacks (biscuits, fruit, crisps, chocolate) and refreshments throughout the day. We offer a variety of dishes to choose from our menu each day, for each meal. Please visit our website: www.charinghealthcare.co.uk to view our sample menu.
All the staff are excellent. They are kind, compassionate and professional. They cared for my dad right up to the very end and even after he died (last night).

My mother was extremely well cared for during her three years in nursing care in Charing House. Everyone did their very best to address her needs and I will always be grateful for the care she received. Thank you to everyone - you looked after Mum really well.

The meals and snacks are varied and of an exceptionally high standard, we know this as we have always been welcome to take a meal with Dad.
We first introduced Dad to the home as a 5* Hotel to settle him in. This would be the same today as the food, snacks, facilities, cleanliness, hygiene and above all the Staff are of an exceptionally high standard.
All of Dads family would highly recommend this home to anyone that has Dementia.

My mother was a resident at Charing House for almost 5 years during which time her family visited regularly and we were always pleased to see how well cared for and happy she was. All of the staff were pleasant and couldn't do enough for her, especially in the last weeks of her life when she was treated with the utmost dignity and respect, for which we are extremely grateful. We would highly recommend this care home.
Set in the original Municipal Buildings, Charing House is directly adjacent to Gillingham Park and therefore gives a relaxing outlook from many of the residents' rooms and also the facility for residents to be able to walk with their families around the park, if sufficiently mobile to do so.

Set in the original Municipal Buildings, Charing House is directly adjacent to Gillingham Park and therefore gives a relaxing outlook from many of the residents' rooms and also the facility for residents to be able to walk with their families around the park, if sufficiently mobile to do so.
In our opinion, care is of a high standard at Charing House and we have been very happy with how our loved one is treated.
We would highly recommend this care home to others seeking a clean, caring and dignified environment for their relative.
