The Old Downs Dementia Residential Care Home

The Old Downs Residential Care Home accommodates up to 41 people living with dementia in its own grounds in Hartley, near Dartford, Kent. At the time of the inspection, 35 people lived at the service. The home had recently welcomed a new registered manager who started in May 2017. Staff provided accommodation and support for residents within a single care package, with nursing or personal care available as needed. The service operates within established health and social care regulations, with the registered manager holding legal responsibility for meeting required standards of care and support for all residents.
