Opened in 2010, our care home in Gillingham has 88 beds divided into 5 separate wings, all of which are named after former mayors and lady mayors of Gillingham: Bessie Parr, William Griffin, George Smith, Freddie Cooper and Barry Hodgman. Thanks to this layout, we are able to provide residential, dementia, nursing, learning disability and physical disability care within a safe environment.

At Charing House, we provide personalised care that is tailored to meet the needs of individual residents. Every resident in our care is treated with dignity and respect at all times, and made to feel as comfortable as possible.

To provide our residents with a home-from-home experience and make it easier for them to settle in, we encourage residents to bring their own pets from home wherever possible but this is at the discretion of the Manager. We also encourage residents to bring in items of their own to personalise their rooms. To help our residents make new social connections, as well as to promote physical and mental well-being, we encourage them to take part in the wide range of activities that we organise.
