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. ?
Cornerways Residential Home is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 20-bed residential care home in Hythe, run by Merryhill Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia.
2 of Merryhill Care Limited’s 2 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in December 2025. In Kent, 90% of homes score 5.
In January 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 45% of homes in Kent. Here is how rating age varies by council.
