About Hale Place

Specialist dementia care homes in the heart of Kent

"Over 38 years of award-winning dementia care
Our philosophy has always been simple: every person deserves to be known for who they are, what they love, and what helps them feel at home and happy in life. We shape each day around those things—the familiar routines, the comforts, and an active lifestyle that creates the small moments that bring a smile, a laugh, and a sense of connection.
‍
Since 1988, this belief has guided everything we do. We have consistently achieved the highest possible ratings from all regulators and have appeared on national and local television, as well as being featured in the trade press—alongside receiving 28 national care awards. Together, this reflects our long-standing commitment to delivering truly exceptional dementia care.”

What You’ll Notice Here

We’re proud to be rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. For us, it reflects the consistency, compassion and attention to detail our team brings to daily life in our homes. More importantly, families tell us it feels calm, warm and genuinely like home.

Our homes in East Peckham, near Tonbridge, are smaller, more personal communities by design. That’s a deliberate choice. Smaller homes mean our team really does know each person well: their history, their routines, what brings comfort, and what helps them feel settled.

Everyday life matters here. Meals are cooked on-site, there’s always something gentle to join in with, and families and friends are part of the rhythm of the home. We focus on small, happy moments and the kind of ordinary comforts that make a place feel like home.

TESTIMONIALS

What people say about us...

The care and stimulation provided is outstanding. Mum is treated as a member of a family. She is happy and stimulated, and partakes in all the activities provided. We feel very confident that Mum's daily needs and welfare are met to the highest standard. We are kept informed of any concerns. We believe this care home allows her to live the best possible life.

ST

Daughter of Resident

Exceptional. I have noticed so much difference and improvement in cognitive abilities. This is due to a safe and supportive environment where every need is not just met but exceeded. Resulting in a relaxed, happy, well nourished, well hydrated person. I had no idea that dementia could be improved so much with such specialised and precise care. Thank you.

AE

Friend of Resident

An outstanding care provider, as a family we have been so relieved to know that our mother is so well looked after, the staff really have got to know her and the activities have meant that our mother feels as busy as she was before she got dementia.

RG

Son of Resident

The best thing we found with Hale Place is the trips they took Nan out on. It's lovely and reassuring to see Nan smiling in the pictures. Hale Place is truly one in a million.

CW

Granddaughter of Resident

Hale Place achieve a level of care that we really didn't dare hope existed. Mum has settled in very quickly and all the staff are caring, organised and helpful. The atmosphere is great. Mum is very happy and safe. Well done and thank you.
