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. ?
Rockdale House is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 50-bed nursing home in Sevenoaks, run by Rockdale Housing Association. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Kent, where the typical home has 24 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in August 2023. That matches its previous rating, from October 2018.
Weald Heights, 0.2 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent.
