Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 25 good, 8 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Run by Mrs G L Reeve & Miss D M Reeve, Fairby Grange is a residential care home in Longfield, Kent with 27 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 4 (good), from January 2026. In Kent, 90% of homes score 5. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in May 2025. Its previous rating, in October 2022, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The typical rating in Kent is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 8 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “workforce wellbeing and enablement”.
