Lark View is one of the care homes in Canterbury and provides a variety of specialist care services for older people, including Residential Care and Nursing Care, as well as Specialist Dementia Care for up to 64 residents since its opening in early 2023. Canterbury is situated in the Southeast of England and is ideally located for residents and their loved ones to make the most of what this beautiful part of the country has to offer.
We provide Nursing Care to residents in need of continuous medical assistance and personal care or those requiring end of life care. Our compassionate and highly trained staff are well-prepared to offer assistance to individuals with high-dependency needs, long-term illnesses, and physical disabilities. In our nursing home, each resident is assigned a dedicated key nurse who invests time in comprehending their distinct needs and preferences, guaranteeing the delivery of top-quality personalised care that aligns with their individualised care plan.
We are delighted to provide Specialised Dementia Care in Canterbury for residents living with dementia, offering them a nurturing and supportive environment to ensure their comfort and well-being. Our dedicated team is extensively trained in delivering specialised dementia care, and we remain committed to ongoing staff training at Lark View Care Home to ensure that our team possesses the latest knowledge and expertise in dementia care.
Our residential home offers support to residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Regardless of the level of assistance our residents need, they can always rely on us for exceptional residential care in Canterbury. Each resident who enters our home has a care plan tailored exclusively to their individual needs. Residents can continue to enjoy the activities they love every day in our luxury home. Whether you enjoy watching films in our cinema room or getting pampered in our beauty salon, we have something for everybody at Lark View.
Individuals who are in need of a temporary stay will benefit from respite care. This could be for a few weeks or several months, or until someone feels ready to go back to their normal routine. A person who is recovering from a fall or illness may seek this care service, as well as carers who need a break from their caregiving duties. Just like with our other types of care, a pre-admission evaluation will be carried out so that the correct level of care is given at all times. It is also suitable for those looking for a trial period before moving in on a permanent basis.
