About Diana House

Diana House is a small residential care home located on Diana Road in Chatham, within the Medway area of South East England. The home provides care for two residents and is operated by Blacksmith Health Care Limited.

The service supports people with learning disabilities, older people, and younger adults. As a two-bed facility, Diana House offers a more intimate care setting compared to larger homes. The home has not yet received a CQC inspection, so no rating is currently available.

This is a residential care provision rather than nursing care, meaning residents receive personal care and support with daily living activities within a home environment. The small scale of the home may suit individuals who benefit from a quieter, more personalised care arrangement.
