Barty House Nursing Home

The health, safety and wellbeing of our residents and staff is our top priority. With this in mind we have added a host of new additional safety measures at our facilities to ensure that our residents may continue to live their lives as they choose with minimal inconvenience.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Barty House Nursing Home provides a high standard of accommodation for up to 59 residents. The characterful rooms in the older part of the building come in various sizes with en-suite toilet and washroom facilities. Their traditional windows overlook different aspects of the garden, offering captivating views at any time of year.

The bright, spacious bedrooms in our contemporary extension all have en-suite wetrooms, and many have direct access to the courtyard garden. 

Our welcoming reception area leads into an airy and cheerful conservatory, a popular place for our residents to enjoy the sunshine.

The communal areas, such as the glass-fronted Willow Lounge overlooking the Kent countryside, are all designed to provide comfortable spaces to socialise with guests or other residents or take part in a variety of stimulating or therapeutic activities. The dining room offers an exceptional dining experience. 

There is lift access to all floors, and all are wheelchair accessible.  

Glorious grounds surround the house, from the traditional English gardens at the front to the wheelchair-accessible courtyard area at the centre of the new building. The summer house provides a delightful place to sit and enjoy the outdoors, and also doubles as Santa’s grotto at Christmas!

The gardens are inhabited by rabbits and many types of birds, so there is always something interesting to look at!

All rooms are comfortably furnished with plenty of space for wheelchairs if you need one. They are also equipped with free wifi, TV and telephone points, an adjustable automatic bed with a control handset to ensure your comfort and a nurse-call system. We encourage residents to personalise their rooms with pictures, photos and other treasured ornaments of their own. 

We have an active social life in our home with plenty of opportunities to make new friends and participate in a variety of interesting activities and day trips.

This is important because an active life can help to keep you more alert, mobile and happier, with better health and wellbeing overall.

Our activities co-ordinators create a monthly programme of activities - from entertainments, such as visiting singers and film matinees, to painting and crafts, baking, gardening, quizzes and yoga. If your preferred hobby isn’t on the list, we can support you to continue with it. Even if you find moving about difficult, it is still important to get as much exercise as possible, so we also organise gentle exercise sessions, to help keep you mobile.

Family and friends are welcome to join in with activities, and we also organise special events (like our annual summer fête, for example) to which we invite your family, friends and local community groups. If you like to get out and about, we can arrange for someone to go shopping with you and the activities team also arranges group trips and meals out.

Or it might be that what you want is as simple as to read, watch TV or listen to the radio in the quiet of your own room. Or someone to sit with you and read the paper, talk about things that are important to you, or help you keep in touch with your loved ones via post, email or Skype. Whatever you prefer, the choice is yours.

Many of our residents love animals, and have enjoyed having pets in the past, so we have regular visits from friendly dogs, and some of our residents’ visitors are able to bring their own dogs with them.

Under certain circumstances we may accept residents with pets but please check with the manager when you visit. We also welcome pets to visit but again, please do check with the manager first.
