When the time has come to move into full time residential care...

If your elderly loved one is living with dementia, you know they need a very particular kind of care. And if the time has come when caring at home is no longer an option, you'll know they need a very special kind of care home to accommodate their needs.

Located in the heart of the town and just a short walk from Historic Rochester, Sherwood House is a home and community dedicated to the needs of those living with dementia. Dementia care is all we do and we have the specialist expertise and environment to be able to give give your loved one the highest possible care, wellbeing and happiness in their later years.

Compassion, kindness & endless patience

Living with dementia, your loved one sees and experiences the world differently to the way we do. To care for someone with dementia takes empathy, calmness and endless patience.

All our care staff undertake comprehensive dementia training to truly understand your loved one's needs. More than that, they are carefully chosen for their kind, understanding, and caring nature so you can rest assured your loved one is being looked after the way you'd want them to be.

However, don’t just take our word for it.
