Hawkinge House

Hawkinge House in Hawkinge, Kent is a purpose-built supported living scheme for older people with nursing needs. Residents live in care suites that incorporate social space, a dining area and a kitchenette, while they can also spend time with other residents in the communal areas.

The home accommodates both physically frail older people and also older people with dementia type illnesses, with each group living in separate areas within the building. 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 ongoing care.

Hawkinge House focuses on providing relationship-centred care and so a high priority is given to fostering and nurturing relationships between residents, their family and friends and the healthcare professionals who work in and visit the home. We believe it is important to understand each resident’s past and present relationships with others and to empower them to talk about their memories and give them a chance to contribute and feel involved. We are keen to ensure that each resident is at the heart of a mutually beneficial relationship between their family and friends, our staff and healthcare professionals.

Whether you require respite care or end of life care, we would be delighted to support you at Hawkhinge House. Our weekly fees are dependent upon a care assessment which will evaluate the unique care requirements of a person. Due to being a nursing home, we are able to accept residents who have been granted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Funding.
