About Birchwood House Rest Home
Birchwood House Rest Home provides residential care for older people, offering personalised care plans and both long-term stays and short-term respite. The former manor house stands within nine acres of landscaped gardens, creating a country-house setting for ongoing support or a temporary break.
Respite stays can help after illness or give family carers time away, with planned and short-notice arrangements available. Regular activities and seasonal events form part of life at the home, whose small size supports a family atmosphere. Short-term respite can be arranged at short notice when circumstances require it.

How much does Birchwood House Rest Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Birchwood House Rest 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.
