Your guide to the best care homes around Kettering.
The Northamptonshire town of Kettering has several care homes, both directly in the town’s centre and nearby, which provide first-class care for older adults. These homes are known for their compassionate approaches and for treating every resident with the individuality they deserve. Whether you’re looking for respectful personal care, 24-hour nursing care for complex needs, or tailored dementia support, families will find a variety of trusted options here.
Homes listed above are overseen by the country’s largest operators, including the likes of Barchester Healthcare and Avery Healthcare, such as Elm Bank and Avery Park. Many of these are rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the two highest ratings available. What’s more, we only list homes that are fully CQC regulated and have been thoroughly inspected by our in-house Care Experts, who look at everything from safety and cleanliness to the way residents are supported day-to-day.
In these homes, family involvement is highly encouraged, and many have open visiting policies to make staying connected easy. Some even provide welcome events or informal family coffee mornings to help you feel part of the community, while others are set up to support couples, offering adjoining rooms or shared suites so partners can continue living together while receiving care.
Kettering may be compact, but it’s well supported in terms of healthcare facilities. Being near Kettering General Hospital and other key healthcare providers ensures residents can access extra support if needed.
