Brief description

Shaws Wood occupies a site in a quiet residential area of Strood. The service was originally built as a link service centre. The service was closed but has been re opened on a temporary basis specifically to accommodate residents living in a care home in Chatham.

The original day care centre has not re opened. It is proposed Shaws Wood will continue to run as a care home until July 2010 when the residents return to Chatham into a purpose built care home. In the interim the home is registered for 36 older people with dementia.

Accommodation is situated on the ground and first floor. All bedrooms are for single occupancy. There are call bells and television points in each bedroom and passenger lift access between floors.

There is allocated car parking and enclosed garden areas. The home is situated about a mile from the centre of Strood. Fees are currently £465.00 and £511.77 per week.

Additional charges are payable for chiropody, hairdressing, newspapers and toiletries. Activities include exercises, reminiscence, board games, arts and crafts, knitting circle, gardening and one to one sessions. A mini bus is shared with an associated home for trips out.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
