About Fairlawn Residential Home

Fairlawn Residential Home is a 24-bed residential care facility located on Queens Road in Maidstone, Kent. The home is run by Dhyani Care Limited and provides care for older people and those living with dementia. Its smaller size means residents benefit from a more intimate setting compared to larger care homes in the area.

The home received a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission following its most recent inspection in June 2023. It offers residential care services rather than nursing care, making it suitable for people who need support with daily living and personal care but do not require round-the-clock medical supervision.

Being based in Maidstone provides access to the town's local amenities and healthcare facilities, while Queens Road is within the residential part of the town centre. The home's specialisms in dementia care and support for older people reflect its focus on these client groups.
