Questions families ask
Who can apply to live at Pembroke House?
Pembroke House is for Royal Navy and Royal Marines veterans and their dependants.
Does Pembroke House offer respite care?
Yes. Pembroke House offers short respite breaks for a limited number of residents, alongside long-term care.
How much does Pembroke House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Pembroke House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Medway council paid on average £968 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.
