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. ?
Whitfield is an independent 30-bed residential care home in Dover, Kent, registered with CQC under its own name. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
In August 2022, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in December 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved.
