Cornford House is a recently built home in extensive and peaceful grounds on the outskirts of Pembury Village, near Tunbridge Wells. It provides accommodation for residents with nursing care needs and it offers a choice of either studio or one bedroom care suites. Most of the accommodation is for physically frail older people but the home also incorporates a specialist unit to care for older people with dementia type illnesses.
Full 24 hour nursing care is available for all residents, so that most residents can have a home for life within the scheme. Residents' spouses can also be accommodated, so that couples can stay together even when one develops the need for on-going care.

Services
Our care suites provide residents with much more space than nursing home bedrooms, but with the same level of nursing care and support. Social space with comfortable seats so that residents' families and friends can spend good quality time together in privacy and comfort. Cornford House is registered to provide both personal and nursing care to the residents of the suites.
The facilitation of people's rights underpins everything we do. Our ethos is to promote access to opportunities and to empower individuals to live as independently as possible in the way that they choose. This is reflected in our policies and the way that we conduct our operations day to day.
We promote all the fundamental freedoms, such as the right to freedom of expression, the right to a private and family life, the right to live without discrimination, and the right to liberty.These principles are enshrined in the Human Rights Act and other laws, which have been designed to protect us all and provide us with freedoms many of us take for granted.

We have adopted "relationship centred care" as our principal approach to care provision and so we seek to integrate this into all aspects of our operations, with the aim of building stronger relationships between residents, staff, relatives, friends, etc.
The concept of Relationship Centred Care takes the well established concept of Person Centred Care one step further with the recognition that to enable residents to be happy and fulfilled, we need to understand their past and present relationships with others.It is not just their relationships with staff that are important but also their relationships with family members and other care professionals.

Everyone rightly expects care staff to provide residents with care, companionship and stimulation which is personalised to their needs. However, it can be very difficult for staff to fulfil this expectation unless we in turn provide individualised support to staff and genuinely empower them to listen to, facilitate and encourage the residents.
Cornford House Nursing Home is committed to running the home in the best interests of the residents. The Home has been established with a quality orientated approach to the business with a high degree of quality awareness developed through all levels of staff training and management.
To this end a pro-active approach is taken to introduce quality systems that incorporate audits and feedback so that every part of the home and its services can be evaluated to ensure improvements are continuous.Each month a Quality Consultant visits Cornford House to audit all areas of the home. A sample of residents, relatives and staff are interviewed and their views noted.
