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. ?
The Chestnuts Care Home is a 30-bed residential care home in Gravesend, Kent, run by Chestnuts Home Ltd. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability.
Its CQC rating, from May 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in December 2019, was the same.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2025. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
