The Loose Valley Nursing Home is a registered Care Home which accommodates 36 elderly residents. The home, formerly the local vicarage, is an absolutely beautiful building and overlooks the picturesque and tranquil valley of Loose. Loose is only 2 miles south of Maidstone, and affords beautiful panoramic views.

The Nursing Home caters for individuals with diverse needs related to the elderly. Our residents come from all walks of life; many mothers who have brought up families and extended families, a 'Brown Owl', a hospital Secretary, a research technician at the Royal Marsden Hospital when the National Health Service began, and a woman pilot who flew light aircraft in the1930's. All of these people reside in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where they are encouraged to retain their individuality and their dignity. The majority of our residents have chosen to make this their permanent home; however some do come for a short stay, to convalesce or to give their carers some respite. Our staff feel privileged to care for these people. Loose Valley Nursing Home offers both shared and single rooms, all with a nurse call system, a telephone point and a T V point. Residents are encouraged to bring small items of furniture and ornaments to personalise their rooms. The rooms on the first floor can be accessed by a passenger and wheelchair lift. The Nursing Home is surrounded by 3 acres of grounds encompassing 2 patio areas and with wheelchair access around the perimeter. Residents are able to retain their own General Practitioner. Regular visits are made by the physiotherapist, the chiropodist, and the optician. To enable residents to maximise their quality of life aromatherapy, diversional therapy, religious services, hairdressing entertainment, and outings are provided. A twice weekly exercise class run by a fitness trainer is very popular. |
