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 Laleham is an independent 60-bed residential care home in Herne Bay, Kent, registered with CQC under its own name. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Kent, where the typical home has 24 beds.
About 0.3 km away, St Peter's Care Home is rated Good. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5. 90 other homes in Kent share its tier, “Requires improvement”.
In October 2022, CQC gave it Requires improvement overall, and Requires improvement for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from July 2021.
