About Cumbria House Care Home
Help with personal care, washing, dressing and mobility is assessed before admission at Cumbria House Care Home, where support is arranged around older people’s changing needs. Residents can maintain independence and dignity while receiving individual care in a homely setting.
Regular activities include drawing, painting and quizzes, alongside board games, crafts and outings. Ashwood Healthcare also works with district nurses, physiotherapists and podiatrists when residents need wider support for their physical health. The home’s entertainment programme includes live singing, musicians and reminiscence sessions, giving residents varied ways to spend their time.

Questions families ask
Is an assessment needed before moving into Cumbria House?
Yes. Each person is assessed before admission so the home can establish whether it can meet their individual needs.
Does Cumbria House create personalised care plans?
Yes. After a full assessment, the team creates a tailor-made care plan and updates it regularly as needs and preferences change.
Can residents have visitors at any time at Cumbria House?
Yes. Residents can have visitors at any time, alongside privacy when required and choices about their daily lives.
How much does Cumbria House Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Cumbria House Care 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.
