A well run friendly home. Helpful staff.

My mother spent the last 6 months of her life here. The family couldn't have been happier with the care provided. The food was fantastic, including a homemade cake on her birthday, and there were plenty of activities for the residents.

My friend is well cared for by thoughtful, friendly, sincere staff. The provision of stimulating activities is excellent; residents are encouraged to try things, but not forced. I have experienced a therapy dog visit, a quiz, singing, colouring and several other art/craft activities. It is a happy place. Kept beautifully clean, tidy and safe. The lounge is a fairly spacious, light and airy room for residents to socialise (where I meet up with my friend) and my friend's private room is a lovely, quiet, personal space.

Our mum was admitted to rochester care home after a short stay at another home which wasn't meeting her needs and she was deteriorating very quickly. Rochester care home assessed mum and said they could meet her needs and they are most definitely meeting her needs.. Since mum has been admitted to rochester care home she is like a new woman. My brother and I were worried she wouldn't see the rest of the year in the last place. But by some miracle they've got our mum socialising making new friends and joining in the activities. As a family we are soo happy. And mum herself has said she's much happier and the staff are amazing. I live away from Kent and the staff members make sure I get pictures every week to keep me in the loop. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming

I have found the whole experience, a positive experience. The staff are always happy to assist with any questions or assistance, my father's care is of a high standard, he is happy, well cared for, meals provided are nutritionally balanced. The staff always keep me informed of any medical appointments. Activities provided for residents six days a week, everyone going above and beyond.

I am very happy with the way my mother is treated in the home, her needs are met with care and safe support, she is listened to and is happy to talk to the staff. The staff make a fuss of her and are always kind and thoughtful. Although quite deaf she is interested with all the activities the staff put on her dementia can raise a few problems but they are met with gentle reassurance and support. I am very happy with the home, its residents and staff. Management is always on hand to give guidance.

Mum has moved to the home from Hospital after a fall. She has been settled after just a couple of days. Staff are friendly - all that I have come into contact with have greeted me with a smile and said hello. Everywhere is clean and plenty of space to move around. Love the outdoor space too. I know that there are activities but I haven't been present when they have been run so not commented. Although I have seen pictures of the residents colouring and having a visit from some animals so presume they are good too.

I could not have wished my friend to be in better care. Thank you to everyone.

This was my first visit to see my aunt. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. My aunt's room was lovely and clean and all her possessions were carefully stored, making her comfortable and relaxed.

Dad needed urgent admission following a fall at home. The manager saw us within half an hour and Dad was admitted the next day. An impressive start! Dad established an immediate rapport with the manager and staff, and the safe, welcoming atmosphere has resulted in remarkable improvements in his appearance, appetite, sense of humour, and motivation. Many thanks to everyone for their support and genuine caring engagement with Dad, and for welcoming us when we visit. They have given the whole family great peace of mind.

All staff are fantastic, also the entertainment they bring to residents are fantastic. The 2 ladies who organise the entertainment are fantastic. The staff cares for the patients, also the quality of the food is fantastic. Also very organised and very, very clean there. Management there are also fantastic. I hope I am brought here when I am old and fragile.

Since moving my mum into Rochester Care Home, she has been a lot happier. We find the overall running by the carers and the management to be exceptional.

As soon as l walked into this home l was given 1st class treatment by the lovely Manager. She went over and above to place my ex Husband who l had been caring for for the last 4 years. He was given a room and could move in the following day. I cannot praise all the staff enough. Every single one together with the Manager. Were absolutely brilliant. I was totally exhausted and they took over and got everything moving so quickly, that I would go as far as to say the Manager was my lifesaver. It is an excellent home and all the residents are extremely happy and so well cared for. The home is the best home I have visited and feel extremely lucky to have placed my ex-husband there.

Mum was a resident of Rochester Care Home for nearly 6 years. I cannot thank the manager and her wonderful team enough for all they did for her while she was there. She could not have been in a better place for the last years of her life. As a family, we have got to know the staff as dear friends who have always greeted us with a cheery smile and 'gone that extra mile' for all involved. Mum spent the last two weeks of her life receiving palliative care. She was treated with dignity and compassion. My family have felt very supported by the manager and her staff during this difficult time for which we are truly thankful. We cannot praise Rochester Care Home enough for the work they do.

Rochester Care Home were really welcoming on our arrival with my nan. The staff are all really friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble.

My mum moved into Rochester Care Home after it was not safe for her to stay at home any more. The change in her has been amazing, she's gone from being in bed almost all the time barely able to walk to sitting in the lounge and getting up by herself and walking with a frame in just a few weeks. The staff and manager are friendly and I'm sure Mum will continue to do well under their care.

After living with me for many years, my mum's condition became such that she needed more care than I was able to give. She had started wandering and being unsafe in the house. I was so lucky to be able to secure her a place here, where she is cared for 24 hours a day. The staff are so caring and supportive, they have fun with the residents, it's a home as opposed to a care facility. So pleased my mum is here.
05 March 2024
After a year of upheaval, Mum has found somewhere where she is happy, content and looked after to the highest of standards. We have noticed such an improvement. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.
26 February 2024
On visiting the care home we were impressed by how welcome we were made to feel. The room was lovely and calm, cleanliness was excellent you all should be proud of making a lovely place that the residents can call home. We have peace of mind, knowing my sister is so well cared for, bless you all.
