About Brambling House
Brambling House supports older people who can no longer live safely at home, including people with dementia, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. Personal care is tailored to individual needs, with the aim of preserving independence wherever possible.
Care is assessed and reassessed with residents and relatives, while activities and social opportunities form part of daily life. For people with dementia, staff recognise the individual beyond memory loss or disorientation. Abode Care Homes also provides residential and dementia services across its wider homes, with nursing care available at selected locations rather than established here specifically.

Yes. They cater extensively for older people with dementia, with care plans covering key elements intended to support daily life and person-centred activities designed around individual needs.
Do they offer respite or day care?
Yes. Their services include residential care, respite care and day care, alongside nursing and dementia care across their homes in Kent and Essex.
What happens before someone moves into care?
They complete a thorough pre-admission assessment, then assess and reassess the care and assistance provided with residents and relatives as needs change.
How much does Brambling House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Brambling House 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.
