NVQ Qualified Staff Quality Assurance Monitoring Secluded Gardens Regular Activities Organised Entertainment

Resthaven is a small friendly family run home, situated in the quiet West Cliff area of Herne Bay, a short level walk from the sea front, enabling our qualified staff to accompany clients on walks or wheelchair outings to enjoy the panoramic sea views and in August (weather permitting) Herne Bay Carnival.

Our location is ideally suited with easy access to the main bus route, serving Herne Bay and surrounding areas. The main line railway station is only a short walk away and the Thanet Way (A299) links directly with the M2 motorway.

Our fully trained staff are always available to assist Clients, twenty four hours a day. Our prime consideration is that Clients should never feel deprived of their individuality or privacy and are encouraged to remain as independent as they wish. We have regular visits from a Hairdresser and Chiropodist.

Clients are encouraged to persue their religious beliefs and visits are encouraged to enable this.

Our aim is for Clients to be as happy as possible and feel able to call Resthaven their home, therefore visitors are most welcome at all times and we encourage Clients to entertain guests as they wish.

Resthaven is registered under the Care Homes Act 2000, with the Commission for Social Care Inspection, as a home for elderly persons. Link to C.S.C.I

At Resthaven we place a strong emphasis on staff training and encourage staff to achieve NVQ Awards at levels 2, 3 and 4.
