Brief description

The Signature at the Miramar is a newly built, large, detached and innovative project providing flexible person-centred full-time or respite care. As stated in the Statement of Purpose, 'it is a modern, revitalizing, high quality alternative to a traditional care home. The Miramar is a wellbeing community with residents living in their homes and having real choices about the home care services and communal activities they choose.'
 
The website states: 'The modern alternative to a care home.

Signature. Quality Care with all the comforts of home. Even your own front door'.

 
The choice of accommodation comprises 10 en-suite rooms with showers, 17 one-bedroom apartments and 14 two-bedroom apartments. Accommodation is provided on three floors served by a passenger lift. Many rooms have spectacular sea views.
 
The home provides both nursing and residential care for older people, and has recently registered a 10 bedded independent unit for the provision of care for people who have dementia.
 
The complex is surrounded by landscaped gardens and includes a sensory garden at the rear.

It is situated by the sea in Beltinge village, close to Herne Bay, and is within easy access of the local village amenities. There is a main line railway station in Herne Bay and Beltinge is on several bus routes. The home is also easily accessible by car.

Ample car parking is provided at the front of the property. The home is built adjacent to the old Miramar Nursing home, which is now closed. In due course the old building will be demolished and the current care complex extended.

On completion, the new complex will be registered for 82 people.
 
Weekly accommodation charges range from £527.00 to £1070.00 for a shared apartment. Care is charged separately from the accommodation to reflect individual peoples' needs.
