Victory Care Home
Discover bespoke residential care from a highly trained care team in our welcoming care home.
Victory Care Home provides a safe and homely environment within a real village community, delivering high-quality care and support for its residents.
Situated in the heart of Chatham, we are positioned within easy reach of all local amenities such as; convenient stores, GP practice, a library and Chatham high street.
Our home was purpose-built as a care home in 1984 so all our communal spaces and bedrooms are on one accessible floor. Our building is divided into four ‘wings’, all named after ships that were at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Social activities
We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
We love music and singing at Victory, with regular singers and guitarists coming in. On Fridays we have movement and music sessions.
We have strong links with our local schools. Primary and junior school pupils come in to sing, and students from Bradfields Academy, a local special school, come in to maintain one of our gardens.
Our most popular activity is probably the twice-weekly visit from the therapy dogs. All of our residents love it when the dogs come to visit – they make us all very happy.
Dining
At Victory Care Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sourced wherever possible. Meals are served in our superb dining room, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.
Bedrooms
There are 51 single bedrooms for people living at Victory. All our rooms have ensuites or washbasins in the room. Rooms without ensuites have accessible toilets and bathrooms nearby. Many of the bedrooms look out onto one of our three courtyard gardens.
The bedrooms are a blank canvas for you to personalise with your own photos, pictures and furniture to help you feel at home. It also helps our care team understand what’s important to you, help in building a warm relationship.
Gardens
We have three lovely enclosed and secure courtyard gardens with planters and raised beds for flowers and vegetables, plus plenty of room to sit out. Our residents love to watch the wildlife in the garden – we have bird feeders and bug hotels. There’s a summerhouse and wind chimes in our sensory garden which is an ideal spot to spend an afternoon relaxing.

Lovely care home. My father has settled in and his care is first-class. All carers are experienced, friendly and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. Always welcoming which puts my mind at rest. Lovely and caring management and friendly. Thank you all.

A beautiful care home, everyone who works there from management, office personnel, team leaders and carers are kind, helpful and always professional. A super team. Mum has lived there since 2019 and is very happy, I cannot speak more highly of them – very special people. On visiting for the first time, my cousins commented – what a lovely atmosphere the home has and the carers are very attentive to the residents at all times and they were happy that auntie lives there.

My husband was recently admitted to Victory Care Home. I have been treated very kindly and this has been a very sad time for me, but everyone here is very positive and the home is very nice. The staff are all friendly and helpful.

Prior to your move in to our home, you’ll receive a free no obligation care assessment so we can understand your care needs and create a care plan that suits you best. Your family is welcome to join this process. This allows us to create a bespoke care package that allows you to have the best quality of life.
Plus, through our portal, you and your loved ones can easily check on your care with real-time updates on medication, nutrition, welfare, and more. Read notes from our care teams and keep tabs on the care you receive—all at the click of a button.
Funding may be available from your local authority. Firstly, they will check how much help and what kind of care you need: this is the needs assessment. Following on from that, the free financial assessment calculates the total cost of care and how much you’ll need to contribute.
If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
Here at Victory we offer tailored 24-hour a day respite care that allows you to continue living life your way with as much support you may need from our care team.
This could be a one-off stay, to give a regular family carer a much-needed break, or a regular arrangement to give you variety in your care. Our personalised care can last as long as you need it to and can start within 24-hours.
