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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Westbank Care Home is a 40-bed nursing home in Sevenoaks, Kent, run by Aurem Care (Westbank) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Kent are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
Its CQC rating, from January 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from January 2020.
