CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Brambles Care Home is a 28-bed residential care home in Ashford, Kent. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people.
In December 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in April 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
