At Acorn & Oak, we want to understand the person behind the care needs: what they enjoy, how they like to spend their day and who matters to them. Come and see whether one of our Chatham homes feels right for your family.
Good care means more than helping with practical needs. It means taking time to know someone, respecting what they can do for themselves and making space for the people and interests they care about.
Acorn House offers residential and dementia care, respite and day care. Oak House has recently joined the group; talk to us about the care currently available there. Both are in Chatham, and you are welcome to visit.
The things someone enjoys and the choices they make should continue to matter in daily life.
The people close to someone remain part of their life here. We welcome their visits and involvement.
Care is reviewed as needs change, with honest conversations about the support the home can offer.
We can explain the weekly fee and what is included, so you can make a decision with the facts in front of you.
A visit is a chance to see daily life for yourself, meet the team and talk about what support would suit the person you care for.

“Acorn House is amazing, the staff are truly wonderful, ... the food and quality is simply superb, I would highly recommend this lovely place.”
Families and friends rate Acorn House 9.7 out of 10 on carehome.co.uk, the independent review site.
From the start, the staff, management and owners have been first class, ... I was very anxious about mum's move, but I'm so relieved and delighted I did it. No more falls, attended to quickly, ... If anyone is thinking of placing their loved one here, take it from someone who knows, genuine real caring staff. I couldn't be happier and my mum is safe, happy and content here.
Perfectly delightful. I came to visit my friend's mum before Christmas. I found Acorn House to be well-run clean and very welcoming. There was a great Christmas feel and everyone seemed to be in the festive spirit. The residents seemed happy and well looked after. My friend's mum couldn't be happier it was a pleasure to see.
Can't sing this homes praise enough, keep up the good work.
This is a fantastic care home. ... Being a relatively small home, the staff all get to know the likes/dislikes of each resident. They accommodate those, whether that's with food, TV or conversation. Nothing's too much trouble. The food is great. Proper vegetables! ... When we viewed it, the manager described their style as "resident-led led" and that's exactly what it is. Brilliant.
I visited a friend living in Acorn House over the Christmas period and was impressed with the homely atmosphere and care that the staff members gave to the residents.The home was very clean and comfortable. My friend is very happy and settled living there, having the ability to take personal belongings has helped provide them with a feeling of being at home.
