Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 2 exceptional, 4 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. ?
Maurice House is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 77-bed nursing home in Broadstairs, run by The Royal British Legion. It is registered to care for older people. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
It is one of 6 homes run by The Royal British Legion. 5 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2025. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
Its CQC rating, from September 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2017. The typical rating in Kent is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 4 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “workforce wellbeing and enablement”.
