About Broomfield Lodge
Broomfield Lodge offers a high standard of accommodation and care for the elderly and people with dementia. Whether you chose to stay at Broomfield Lodge permanently or just for a short break we will do everything possible to make your stay an enjoyable one.
Broomfield Lodge is a residential care home situated in the parish of Herne and Broomfield just a short drive to the seafront at Herne Bay. It has gardens to the front and rear and a car parking area. Locally we have a windmill, shops and park. We also have local churches and a choice of public houses. A bus stop is situated right outside.
- Our fully accessible Care Home is designed to be your Home too. Family and friends are able to visit whenever they wish and are welcome to join you in the privacy of your room or in the lounge.
- Our highly trained staff ensure our core values of encouraging independence, enabling choice and preserving dignity are not only upheld but also promoted in our every action.
- All residents are treated with respect and dignity. Each person is assessed to ensure we understand what they want and how they want to be cared for. We can then create an individual care plan to meet their needs.
Accommodation is over two floors and there are bathrooms and toilets on each floor and access to all floors can be made via a lift.
