The home changed owner in April 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
What the data says about St Margarets Nursing Home
St Margarets Nursing Home is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 25-bed nursing home in Hythe, run by Rohan Care Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia.
Its CQC rating, from January 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That is up from Requires improvement in July 2019. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. The home changed owner in April 2025. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. 286 other homes in Kent share its tier, “Good”.
