Care Homes in Dartford

When living in a Dartford care home, you’ll have easy access to central London while also being right next to the River Thames and popular green spaces such as Swanley Park and Darenth Country Park. To ease your search, we’ve compiled the best care homes in Dartford above, all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and thoroughly reviewed by our in-house Care Experts who have extensive experience across adult social care.

Care homes here vary in style, from purpose-built settings with modern facilities to smaller homes with a long-standing presence in the area. Some are nestled in quiet residential streets, while others have balconies and rooftop terraces that offer eye-catching views over landscaped gardens. A number of care homes are even designed with couples in mind, providing linked rooms or shared suites to support partners staying together. Others include family guest rooms for overnight stays during transitional moments or important milestones.

With a ‘Good’ rating, Rosewood specialises in residential care, with daily, respectful support given to those who are still fairly independent but would benefit from assistance with tasks like getting in and out of bed, managing medication, getting dressed, and using the bathroom. This home and others nearby, such as Broad Oak Manor, also provide nursing care, where registered nurses are on hand 24/7 for those living with complex conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s. If further clinical support is needed, then Dartford homes often work alongside the Darent Valley Hospital, particularly during medical emergencies.

Whatever stage of the care search you’re at, Lottie makes it easy to compare care homes based on your family’s needs, including filtering by care type and desirable facilities like hair salons, libraries, activity rooms, dining spaces, and cosy communal lounges.
