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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Choice Support runs Woodgate, a residential care home in Maidstone, Kent with room for 6 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is a small home for Kent, where the median is 24 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2019. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That is up from Requires improvement in June 2018. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 45% of ratings in Kent are as old (how rating age varies by council).
CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). It is one of 21 homes run by Choice Support. 17 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
