Meet The Manager
Diane Collins is Home Manager at Chartwell House.
Diane joined Boutique Care Homes in August 2022 to launch Chartwell House Care Home. With over 30 years’ experience, Diane believes that caring for, and being part of another person’s life journey is an immense privilege and loves to see resident’s smile. High quality compassionate care is Diane’s passion, and she is committed to supporting families throughout their care journey. Diane takes the time to know & understand each person’s values, preferences and wishes, treating every resident like family. Her own personal experiences have helped Diane to understand what families are feeling and the struggles that they are facing. This drives her to provide the best service in a person-centred way for all residents and to support them to continue to lead a fulfilled and enriched life.
Chartwell House is located very close to Broadstairs town centre, Kent. Known as the ‘jewel in Thanet’s crown’ and steeped in history, Broadstairs is a family orientated, coastal town on the Kent coastline, situated just between Margate and Ramsgate.
The home is situated a stone’s throw away from Westwood Cross Shopping Centre with easy access to local shops, restaurants and amenities. Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate cluster around the bays at the far end of the peninsula, crossing over the Viking Coastal Trail.
Chartwell House is easily accessible thanks to links to the M2 and A299, meaning we can provide regular day trips for our residents and explore the beautiful Kent coastline.
Our vision for Chartwell House is to be an integral part of the community, providing dedicated and compassionate care for the older generation while keeping our close connections with local community groups and schools.
