Overview

Amherst Court is a residential and nursing home in the area of Chatham, which can accommodate 110 residents - it has a 'Good' rating from the CQC. Care can be provided for those with dementia or requiring nursing care.

Amherst Court in Chatham Medway is a vibrant care home community with a welcoming atmosphere. The modern design and layout of the home provide well-equipped, bright en-suite bedrooms, and a wide range of amenities to support person-centered care and the overall wellbeing of our residents.

The names of the suites follow a nautical theme – Charlotte, Trafalgar, Valiant and Apollo and each one is a community with our care home.

Activities & Wellbeing
Our caring, and skilled staff that support residents to enjoy and participate in activities, from going on outings to socialising with other residents and staff. At the heart of the home is our philosophy of care, the Eden Alternative (Awarded Silver), where staff encourage social interaction, engagement and work towards eradicating loneliness and boredom.

Our Care & Extra Support
We provide 24-hour residential care and support for people living with dementia. Our qualified and attentive staff team focuses on residents’ individual needs as we believe “everyone matters” and is unique. All laundry is included and managed by the home domestic team but should residents wish to continue independently with daily tasks such as cleaning, personal care needs, and eating, we can support this.

All meals are nutritionally balanced, freshly prepared, and cooked at the home, and the catering team is always on hand to meet any specific dietary requirements or requests.

Our Facilities
Facilities available at Amherst Court include the cafe on the ground floor, providing a meeting place to enjoy a drink or a light lunch with family and friends. The beauty salon `Ship Shape´ is situated on the ground floor for residents to treat themselves to a new hairstyle or beauty treatment. There is a wonderful brand new dementia sensory garden at Amherst for you to enjoy the outdoors and relax
