About Abbey Lodge Residential Home
Abbey Lodge Residential Home provides long-term residential care, respite care and day care for older people, including people living with dementia. Its family-operated model supports residents with daily care, meals, activities and companionship in a small to medium-sized home.
Day visitors receive the same person-centred care and services as respite and long-term residents. Respite stays can support recovery after an operation, give family carers a break or provide time to try the home, with stays ranging from several weeks to several months. Bedrooms have en-suite toilets, while communal facilities include a dining room, library and garden.

Questions families ask
Are residents assessed before moving into Abbey Lodge?
Yes. They arrange an assessment to understand the person's needs and preferences and determine the appropriate personalised care.
How many bedrooms does Abbey Lodge have?
The home has 23 bedrooms, including 21 en-suite rooms and two twin bedrooms, plus a lounge and dedicated dining room.
What is needed to book a respite stay at Abbey Lodge?
A conversation with the manager or owner is needed first. They then assess whether Abbey Lodge can provide suitable care for the person.
How long can a respite stay at Abbey Lodge last?
Respite stays can last several weeks, several months or longer, depending on the person's needs and circumstances.
How much does Abbey Lodge Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Abbey Lodge Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,096 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
