My mother has been a resident at Bowercroft Care Home since March 2023 when her previous Home closed. The staff are all welcoming, competent and very caring, with excellent knowledge and training regarding Dementia. Mum is very happy at Bowercroft and adores the staff. The building is incredibly well-maintained incredibly clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend this lovely care home.

My mother continues to receive the best care from all the wonderful staff at Bowercroft. She has resided there for over three years and continues to be very happy living there. I am always made very welcome on my weekly visits, and I am well-informed about everything relating to my mother's well-being/care. Would highly recommend Bowercroft.

My father has been in the care home since July 2023 and is receiving excellent care. The manager and care staff are very friendly. The care home is very clean and tidy, the food my father gets is very good. So we both have no complaints regarding the care home. I would highly recommend this care home.

Mum has been a resident at Bowercroft since March this year, and we know it was the right choice for her. It has the feel of a large family home. The level of engagement from the professional yet friendly staff, with both residents and family members, cannot be faulted. The home is always clean and well maintained; the meals varied and of good quality. She has settled in well and joins in with the social aspects of living in this family orientated home. The staff genuinely care about Mum's well being and keep us informed, either by telephone or when we visit. It is a calm, safe and warm environment with a lovely team of people at its heart.

Congratulations to the management and staff at Bowercroft Residential Home on achieving a score of 10 for review ratings. Well done! and very well deserved. Bowercroft is a very special home. The staff are very caring and, understanding of individual needs. If they wish, the residents can join in morning activities, along with music afternoons. Bowercroft is always spotlessly clean and fresh, the meals are excellent and the residents are very well looked after. Highly recommended.

My mum has been a resident at Bowercroft for over nine years and it was definitely the right choice for her. We were impressed with how clean and fresh the home was and how friendly the staff were. The home is maintained to a high standard and it always smells fresh and is spotlessly clean. The level of care my mum receives is beyond reproach. The staff are always happy and helpful and the atmosphere is that of a large, happy home. You would be hard-pressed to find a better, friendlier and happier care home than Bowercroft.

Mum has been living at Bowercroft for three months now. It has not been easy for her to adjust from living alone and independently, to being in a care home. I can't praise the team enough for their sensitive care of Mum. They've really tailored their care to Mum's needs, asking and listening to her wishes, communicating and including me in creating her care plans. I love the way they talk to my mum, make her laugh and treat her with respect and dignity. She's settled well now and is enjoying being cared for, she's also enjoying the social aspects of living in this small home. Whenever I ring or visit I'm made to feel very welcome. There is a calm and warm environment with a fantastic team of people.

My mother has been a resident at Bowercroft for two years now and I can't praise the care she has received highly enough. Mum not only has Dementia and Parkinsons, she has recently been extremely poorly and was not expected to recover. The manager and every member of the team have shown such dedication and care, doing everything possible to help her get well. Her recovery has been extraordinary, thanks to all of them. They were also all extremely kind and welcoming to all our family, looking after us too as we visited daily, during a very difficult period. I have no hesitation in recommending the home.

Mum has been in Bowercroft for exactly a year now and the care has remained outstanding all the time. Her dementia has got worse now and all of the staff have looked after her with care and affection. There is always plenty of communication so that we can discuss how Mum is doing and when I visit it is always friendly and with a lovely atmosphere. The family have agreed that we could not have found a better place for Mum to live and we know that she is getting brilliant care.

I'm not sure that anything I write here will accurately describe the care that our mother has had in the two years that she's been in this place. What I would say is that my mother-in-law was staying in a purpose-built home with amazing amenities, yet when I compare the experiences, there is absolutely nothing that she received there that Bowercroft hasn't sorted for our mum. If you're reading this because you're researching care homes in the Maidstone area, stop your research now. You've found your ideal place. The manager and her team will stop at nothing to ensure that your relative gets the care that they deserve, even fighting local services on your behalf! To say that they saved our mum's life, is no overstatement.

This is a lovely care home, all the staff without exception are very good and provide excellent care. My mother has been a resident here since August 2019. She was admitted with dementia which gradually has advanced and the staff have looked after her very well. All through the Covid lockdown period and to date, the staff have been amazing. Communication is always excellent. It is very well run and managed. You will always be warmly welcomed if you choose this home and know your relative will be well cared for and treated with respect and dignity.

My mum has been a permanent resident at Bowercroft since April 2022 and we couldn't be happier with the care home. Since my very first visit to Bowercroft, it felt instantly warm and inviting and I have to say the manager was a real help during the initial settling in period for mum, nothing ever seemed too much trouble, all my questions (and there were many) were always answered straight away. I can tell my mum is really happy there, I haven't seen her looking so well in a long time, she has made lots of new friends, enjoys all of the daily activities and has a great repour with all the lovely caring staff. It's a wonderful place and was definitely the best decision I've made for my mum.

Our mother has been at Bowercroft since February this year. I am so pleased to say she has been very happy and really wanted to stay, which has now been made possible. I was so pleased when I first walked in, to see how clean it is kept, this has not slipped since February. The staff always appear chatty and friendly, we couldn’t ask for more.

The home has made superb efforts during lockdown to ensure we could continue to visit Mum safely. There is always a welcome from staff, who are friendly and approachable. The atmosphere is warm, and the environment always clean and inviting. My mum is not the easiest person to please, but she tells us she is very happy at Bowercroft, and is always well cared for and feels safe. I do not have to worry about her now, as I know the staff will keep me informed of any concerns.

Bowercroft is a small residential home which suits my brother well. All the Staff know him, as do the other residents. Staff work tirelessly to keep residents engaged and relatives connected. They adapted quickly to this last difficult year to enable relatives and friends to keep in touch whether by iPad screens or behind Perspex screens. I can also easily contact staff by telephone if the need arises. Bowercroft staff couldn’t have done more to give us a feeling of safety and my brother a happy and caring environment in which his needs are fully met. Thanks to all the staff for your very hard work and care during this awful year. I’m sure it has been a tough one and very tiring. I have and will in the future recommend Bowercroft, with no hesitation.

When I visit my friend she is always smiling and happy and looks very healthy. She has nothing but good things to say about how she is looked after and says the staff are excellent. Even through the last few months with everything that’s been going on her care has not changed and is still at a very high standard.

My Dad has now been a resident in Bowercroft for nearly 3 years, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support the staff have provided during that time. Until covid came along, which has limited the opportunities for visiting my Dad, I know that he is comfortable, and very well cared for, which means I and the rest of the family have no worries as to his physical and mental well being. I cannot thank the staff enough for all that they do, and particularly in light of the pandemic, the difficulties they have had to overcome during this very trying time.

I have my mother in Bowercroft, she started her stay on 30th December 2019, after being in hospital for some time with a broken hip, came out of there ok, quite remarkable as she was 97. She has settled down and now she seems to be a different person, this is all down to the care she is getting from incredible staff members at Bowercroft, she is very happy and has made friends with lots of residents, there is always something going on to keep them occupied, also the food is freshly prepared. I can only say that my choice of Bowercroft was the right choice and has restored my feelings on care homes. I would go as far to say that I don’t think you could find a better and as caring care home as Bowercroft. I would strongly recommend it to anyone that has to put their mother or father into care. Look no further, Bowercroft is quite unique. 5 stars from myself and the rest of her family.

I'm so grateful that my Dad is being so well looked after by all the staff at Bowercroft. It is a relief to know that he is in such good hands during this very difficult time and I know that I'll be able to visit him as soon as it is safe to do so. The family have been very well informed at all stages of the pandemic and the staff have worked tirelessly to keep Dad safe and happy.

My wife has received exceptional care and attention, particularly during the covid 19 lockdowns. The staff are extremely helpful, caring and friendly and the manager does an excellent job of running the establishment. My wife is quite content in living at this care home and does not want to leave.
