Brambling Lodge Care Home
Brambling Lodge
Brambling Lodge is a welcoming 27-bedroom residential care home situated in the peaceful village of Shepherdswell, Dover. Led by Home Manager Jenna Solly, our dedicated team provides high-quality residential and dementia care in a warm, supportive, and homely environment.
The home has been beautifully refurbished to a high standard, combining the charm of its traditional building with modern comforts and accessibility. Residents enjoy bright, comfortable rooms, several with en-suite wet rooms, and a range of communal areas including spacious lounges and attractive gardens that encourage relaxation and social connection.
We specialise in caring for older people and those living with dementia, offering both permanent and respite care. Our highly trained staff deliver personalised, compassionate support designed around each individual’s unique needs - ensuring comfort, dignity, and wellbeing at all times.
At Brambling Lodge, we believe that life should continue to be fulfilling, engaging, and joyful. A full programme of activities is available each week, from crafts and exercise sessions to music, reminiscence, and social events. Residents are encouraged to maintain their interests, enjoy the company of others, and feel part of our vibrant community.
Our facilities include accessible gardens, hairdressing and chiropody visits, on-site parking, and the option for residents to bring their own furniture to make their room feel like home. With caring staff, wholesome meals, and a strong family ethos, Brambling Lodge provides a truly supportive home-from-home for those who choose to live with us.
