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. ?
RCH Care Homes Limited runs Park View Care Centre, a nursing home in Ashford, Kent with room for 88 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Kent, where the typical home has 24 beds.
In May 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in December 2023, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. That is more recent than most ratings in Kent, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 8 fell below good. The lowest was “workforce wellbeing and enablement” (some shortfalls).
286 other homes in Kent share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2025. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent.
