Activities, trips and events
Our Activity Coordinator keeps our residents active and entertained with a fun-packed activities calendar.

Our many committed volunteers are also often around for a chat and fun including knit and knatter sessions, bible studies, coffee mornings and quiz nights.

We regularly take residents on trips to a garden centre, out for a picnic or to an art gallery such as Turner Contemporary in Ramsgate. Our residents tell us what they’d like to do, and we do our best to make it happen.

And we make the most of any opportunity to have a themed event – including Easter and Christmas celebrations, Red Nose Day, and St Patrick’s Day.

Whether in the privacy of your own room or relaxing in the company of your friends and neighbours, we will support you to spend your time doing the things you enjoy. Let us know if it’s music, a favourite newspaper, exercise or a spot of pampering at the salon. Large gardens invite you to appreciate the fresh air, or tend the plants, if you wish.

Bradbury Grange has the latest safety and security design features so you can live life to the full with peace of mind.

Residential care
Finding a place that you can call "home" is a question of getting the right balance.

Bradbury Grange’s residential care provides 24 hour support to help residents maintain independence – giving you peace of mind and a place to make new friends and explore new interests.

In many ways it is like living in a hotel, where you don’t need to worry about laundry, changing the bed or cleaning your room. We will use the district nurse and GPs to provide any medical care. Our caring staff help with everyday activities like bathing and dressing and support at meal times.

At the same time, we’ll support you to maintain links with the local community, or develop new friendships. Care staff will help you do that, while also working hard to create a home that’s full of opportunity and possibility.

In the main living areas of the home you will find lounges where you can join in one of the many activities with others or sit quietly with a book or newspaper.

Your room
All of the bedrooms at Bradbury Grange are comfortably furnished and have an en suite wet room. We have free wifi throughout the home.

You can bring your own furniture to furnish your room, such as a favourite armchair or own bed. Walls can be personalised with your own pictures, shelving and ornaments.

“Lovely garden. Beautiful building. Friendly staff and very helpful. Very nice room with lovely view and super wet room within my room.” Independent carehome.co.uk review

Food and drink
Meal times are a special part of the day for you to savour tasty food, freshly cooked by our chef to suit you and any dietary needs. And, of course refreshments are available throughout the day for you and your visitors, who are welcome at any time.

Our commitment to your wellbeing
Our highly-trained, dedicated members of staff will always be on hand to provide your care and support in the way that best suits you, in the comfort of your own room with en suite facilities.

We choose the people who work with us very carefully. They need to share our values and respect people, their life experience and personal choices.

We take pride in the cleanliness and maintenance of your home and provide a thorough and friendly cleaning service. Your personal washing will be carefully laundered and returned to you, clean and fresh.

Our regular exercise classes, reflexology sessions and hair salon help keep you feeling and looking your best.

“A very professionally run care home. The staff are exceptional - all very caring and considerate. Everything provided from food, laundry, medication and entertainment is first class.” Independent carehome.co.uk review
