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. ?
An independent nursing home in Ashford, Kent, Woodchurch House is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 85 beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and people who use drugs or alcohol. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2025. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5.
