About Rockdale House
Rockdale House provides nursing and residential care for permanent and respite stays within Rockdale Village, an independent not-for-profit retirement community in Sevenoaks. The 50-bed care home sits alongside apartments for independent living, personal home care and shared village facilities.
The wider setting includes clubs, activities, social events and trips, with gardens and community spaces supporting life beyond the care home. Rockdale Village is designed for people aged 60 and over, while its care home supports those needing more assistance. Families considering the village should distinguish the care-home offer from the separate apartments, which are intended for independent living.

Can residents bring a pet to Rockdale Village?
Yes, residents may have one pet, subject to restrictions on the type of animal and confirmation that they can care for it, including arrangements for absences or hospital stays.
Can someone apply for a Rockdale Village apartment straight away?
No. Applicants must first be accepted onto the Housing Register by completing the relevant application or expression of interest form before applying for an apartment.
What happens during a Rockdale Village assessment interview?
It is a face-to-face meeting where senior support staff assess the applicant’s needs and whether Rockdale Village is suitable for someone who can still live independently.
