Our friendly team of experienced and compassionate care professionals deliver round-the-clock Residential, Nursing, Respite, and specialist Dementia Care. From day one, we work closely with each resident and their loved ones to create a personalised care plan that reflects their medical needs, lifestyle and preferences. These plans are regularly reviewed to ensure each person continues to receive the right support as their needs evolve.
Our care home in Thanington is also proudly regulated by the Care Quality Commission, the independent body that monitors adult social care across England. These inspections help ensure we consistently maintain the highest standards of care, giving residents and their families peace of mind every step of the way.

Respite Care offers a short-term stay that supports both those needing care and their carers. Whether recovering from an operation or illness, respite at Lark View provides a smooth transition from hospital to home, aiding rehabilitation with expert support. For carers, it offers a valuable chance to take a break, knowing their loved one is receiving excellent care in a safe, comfortable environment.
The duration of respite care is flexible, lasting from a few weeks to several months, depending on individual needs. During their stay, residents enjoy the same high standard of care, engaging activities, and luxury facilities as our long-term residents.
