Questions families ask
Do they provide specialist dementia care?
Yes. They provide specialist dementia care with a person-centred care plan, activities such as reminiscing, gardening and baking, and support from the whole care team.
What food and meals do they provide?
Meals are created in house, individually plated and served to restaurant standards. Menus are updated weekly and seasonally, with drinks and snacks available throughout the day.
Do they offer double rooms for couples?
Some of their care homes have double rooms and suites. Availability and details should be checked with the Home Manager.
What evening security measures does the care home have?
They use coded door entry and a manned reception desk from 9 am to 5 pm. Visitors are greeted and let out by a staff member, and door codes are not shared.
How much does Birkin Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Birkin Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,277 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
