worth a visit
Like I said on a previous review that has been done on the NHS webpage. I used to work here 9 years ago and some of the old colleagues still work here and Ive on been a resident for a few days due to a car accident and it’s a lovely place. Not too far for the family and friends to visit. The staff are very lovely and helpful , they could with a few more staff. The atmosphere is very nice and peaceful. I’m in the garden today because I’ve mostly been in my room because of the weather during the week had not been good.

My wife, who has Lewy-Body Dementia, has now been a resident at Kippington for the last 18 months after it became impossible for me to properly care for her at home.

On the day of her arrival in August 2017 she was shown into a very clean and nicely decorated en-suite room and warmly welcomed by the Kippington staff.

My family and I were immediately impressed with the friendly and caring attitude shown by Edwin, the manager who has a nursing background, and all of the staff that we met then, and my views are unchanged today.

There is a very happy atmosphere there and the carers (who are permanent and not agency) are always very considerate and willing to assist anyone in need. They regularly chat with residents and often go the extra mile by, for instance, trimming and painting the ladies’ fingernails to make them feel extra special.

I visit my wife almost every day and always find her contented and relaxed, wearing clean clothes and with her hair tidied. She enjoys the food (there is a choice of meals) which is always tasty and well presented.

Kippington is a very happy and well-run care home. The manager often participates in the organised activities and has an ‘open door’ policy which means that he can be approached at any time by residents or family members who have any concerns.

I totally disagree with the disparaging comments made about the home by the anonymous ‘Google User’ who according to his/her many reviews posted, has encountered problems dealing with at least eight other care homes/agencies in the Sevenoaks area.

Maybe a look in a mirror will identify the real source of Google User’s problems!

Currently, I’ve been working here for over 2 years and I can say it is a wonderful place to bring your beloved ones! Working here it doesn’t feel like work, it feels like we are all a big happy family which I’m very grateful to be part of it!

There is a small garden for our residents to enjoy the sunshine, they can sit by the fish pond or walk around the garden to see the Squirrels and birds feeding.

Meet the Manager

Esther is our Home Manager at Kippingtons Nursing Home, here’s a little bit more about herself and the home in her own words:

“With a Degree in Business Management and a Masters in Dementia Studies, I have worked within the care sector for fifteen years, twelve of those have been as a manager. I have worked mainly with people living with dementia during my time in the sector, however I have also supported a range of care needs including adults with complex learning disabilities.

I enjoy getting to know our residents and listening to their life stories, you can certainly learn a lot from their wisdom. I love the aspect of leading a team of heroes that go above and beyond their everyday to support our residents. I put quality care at the forefront of what I do, providing person-centred care, treating everybody with dignity and respect. As Home Manager I like to think I bring a sense of smooth running, professionalism, collaboration, and trust to the home.”
