Where are we?
We’re in Whitstable, set back off Canterbury Road, about a mile from Whitstable seafront. We’re easily accessible from the M2 and have great public transport links.

Activities, trips and events
Our Activity Coordinator keeps our residents active and entertained with a fun-packed activities calendar. Activities include: singing and outside entertainers, quizzes and games, bowls, skittles, afternoon tea, animal visits, exercise classes, art and craft sessions, bingo, baking, flower arranging, knitting, Church services week plus personal support from our Chaplain who is employed at Bradbury Grange.

Our many committed volunteers are also often around for a chat and fun including knit and natter 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.

Award-winning music therapy

Bradbury Grange care home is committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to help alleviate isolation and the symptoms for those living with dementia. Our trained therapist is funded by charitable donations and interacts directly with residents through live music therapy sessions. This can include singing, playing simple percussion instruments or responding to musical cues in a one-to-one or group setting.  Take a look at our video to find out more about this life-changing therapy.

Chaplaincy and pastoral support 
We are proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain at Bradbury Grange, who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. They are in the home three days a week, providing a listening ear, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, friends and relatives - irrespective of their beliefs - and organising worship for those who wish to participate. 

Seize the day – making unique and memorable opportunities
Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
