The RedHouse is a proud, independent, family-run nursing home and with exceptional care home facilities to residents of Canterbury and Kent. For over 30 years, our residential care home experience in delivering the highest quality of care. We understand that different people have different needs so we pride ourselves on our dedicated, 24/7 all round care.

Needless to say, this is not simply a home for old people. We offer your loved ones the best long-term care and quality of life to give you and your family peace of mind. With 24-hour care, we offer residents enriching social activities, events and day trips to enjoy at their own discretion. Kent's most distinguished city, Canterbury combines city convenience, leafy suburban streets and the refreshing air of the nearby coast.
Services
You'll wonder "is this care home near me?" and "is my lived one in a warm, safe, clean environment with good, wholesome food and helpful, well-trained staff?" Above all, you want somewhere they can maintain the independence, dignity and respect they deserve. The RedHouse is not just a retirement home.
At The RedHouse, we believe that entertainment and activities are key to maintaining physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. Our spacious bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and landscaped gardens offer the best opportunity for our residents to socialise and engage in a range of activities that best suit them.
At The RedHouse, we pride ourselves in having some of the most experienced people in nursing. We have around 50 warm and friendly staff-a number well above the CQC* recommended staffing ratios. Most staff are qualified to NVQ2 or even NVQ3 level and have certificates in Infection Control, Health & Safety, Moving and Handling and Food Hygiene to name a few.
Feedback about our service is vital because it allows us to monitor the quality of care we deliver to our residents. We are constantly striving to ensure our residents feel at home, and our Open Door policy means relatives can call in or stop by at their convenience. All I can report is I visited your home on over 1200 occassions over the years and NEVER came away feeling let down or disgruntled.
At The RedHouse, we have an excellent reputation established over 30 years of serving the local community. This is illustrated by a quote from a local GP in response to a quality assurance questionnaire. As a GP visiting many nursing homes in this area, the The RedHouse has no competition for excellence.

My elderly mother-in-law has often been very difficult and from previous respite care experiences we dreaded finding her a permanent nursing home. Nothing had ever been right so we put this off until it became evident it was essential for her to be looked after 24/7.
We were recommended the Red House and right from my initial contact it was evident that this was a nursing home that truly cared about their residents. At all times we are kept up to date on my mother-in-laws well-being and every effort has been made that we can still visit her ‘pod style’ during the pandemic. The staff always

Recently I have been speaking regularly with a resident I know well, visiting her twice now. The staff are always friendly, caring and helpful, thus retaining their excellent reputation.

I cannot fault the care given to my Brother in Law. The staff are so kind and nothing is too much trouble, paying attention to the small details that mean so much to both the resident and their family.
A well run family Home, so different from larger organisations that can be so impersonal.
I cannot recommend the Red House highly enough.
