Our care home in Gillingham strives to make you feel part of a real local community, with high-quality care and support on hand whenever needed.
Admiralty Care Home sits within the heart of the local community, offering easy access to nearby conveniences including local shops, a doctor’s surgery and a library. We are located just one mile from Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre which has many restaurants and shops to make a perfect day out. What’s more, Wigmore Park is just a five-minute stroll from us which is perfect for our summer picnics and entertainment.
Our home provides 24-hour tailored care in a home from home setting. It boasts lovely interiors, cosy rooms, spacious common areas, and intimate lounges. We are fortunate to have beautiful landscaped gardens with a summer house and seated patio area.
Social activities
There’s something to suit everyone in our social activities programme, from entertainment, exercise and flower arranging to arts and crafts, coffee mornings, cooking and much more.
We have an extensive garden, with a beautifully maintained lawn that has vegetable patches and flower beds for our residents to use. It is also a great spot for relaxing with a patio area and summer house.
Treat yourself to pamper days at our on-site beauty and hair salon followed by an afternoon in one of our roomy communal lounges where you can chill out and have a good time with friends and family.
Enjoy regular activities including crafts, games, raffles and trips out. Our social activities programme is put together by our Activities Coordinators who ensure there is something for everyone.
Dining
At Admiralty 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 rooms, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Bedrooms
We have 41 bedrooms for people living at Admiralty Care Home, with a range of room sizes, including some able to accommodate couples. We have ground floor rooms with stunning views of the garden and first floor rooms that are fully accessible by stairs or lift.
The majority of rooms have ensuites and others have en-suite wet rooms. The rooms without ensuites have accessible toilets, bathrooms or wet rooms within easy reach.
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.

Our garden is a great spot for activities and eating outside. If you enjoy watching the wildlife then our garden is a great place to spend a sunny afternoon watching the bird’s nest in our beautiful willow tree.

The staff in its entirety must be commended for their hard work, compassion, and commitment in these difficult times. I can honestly say that my mother has never been cared for more affectionately or attended to more thoroughly than now. She really is very very content and we as a family are eternally grateful. We cannot thank the staff enough. Their dedication to the happiness of the residents in their care is beyond admirable.

Exemplary care is always given to the residents ensuring dignity is maintained at all times. The staff are fab, and supportive to our family for the past four years allowing dad to spend his last few years comfortable and safely. We all miss you all and cannot really put into words how we really feel. Thank you so very much just does not cut it but is heartfelt.
J S (Daughter of Resident, 2022)
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank your staff for all their help with mum today. As requested, she looked lovely for her trip out to the hospital and when she saw her daughter later in the day, she commented on how well she looked. We greatly appreciated this as her youngest daughter has been quite unwell for some time now and seeing her mum look so healthy gave her a real lift. The care staff helped us manoeuvre mum into the car and we learnt a lot from the techniques that were used, and we are hoping that this will result in us being able to take her out more often. Please pass on my thanks to your wonderful team who always treat mum with care and respect.

Frequently asked questions
Living in a care home shouldn’t change your schedule. That’s why we don’t have set visiting times for family and friends. Your loved ones are welcome any time of the day and can even join you for a meal in our dining areas.
Many people living in our care and nursing homes receive regular visits from family and friends, who will often join in with daily activities, enjoy a cup of tea, or take their loved one out for the day.
Here at Admiralty 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.
Our bespoke care and support is available for a single weekly fee. That includes care, accommodation, laundry, meals, housekeeping, social outings and more.
That means no additional charges or hidden fees, just consistent, all-inclusive support for a weekly fee.
Our expert chefs prepare a daily menu with nutritious options for you to choose from based on your likes and dislikes. Whether you prefer three regular meals, or smaller portions with snacks throughout the day, our team can accommodate your preferences and provide food options to suit you.
What’s more, our care teams are always on hand to support and encourage you at mealtimes, ensuring you get the nutrition and hydration needed. When you move into our home, you have the option to enjoy mealtimes in the communal areas with other residents, or to enjoy some private time in your room.
If you would like to view our care home in Gillingham, don’t hesitate to give us a call today. We would be happy to arrange a no obligation care home visit, where you can meet our care team and talk to our residents.
Alternatively, we have regular coffee mornings where anyone is able to pop in. This is great opportunity to get to know our team and residents.
Once you become a resident at our home, there are no set visiting hours, so your family and friends are free to come and go as much as they want.
Prior to your move into our care 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 in this process and help create a plan bespoke to you.
