Ravenlea Care Home cares for 3 male and 4 female adults with Learning disabilities and some physical disabilities. Residents to the home are only admitted after a full and comprehensive assessment to ensure that the home is able to cater for the resident’s needs. There may be odd occasion when residents are admitted as an emergency where we will ensure that a full assessment is completed within 48 hours of admission. All Pre-Admission Assessments are completed by appropriately qualified staff, usually the Home Manager.

The House has 7 single rooms and all rooms meet standards in relation to size and décor. Each has an en-suite .We do not envisage room changes once a resident is given a room, however, if a room change is necessary then this is only arranged after consultation and agreement with the resident. Residents are advised of the room they will occupy prior to admission and are encouraged to bring their own personal belongings to the home to personalise their room.

Ravenlea is a short walk to the town centre, Leas promenade and transport links including trains and busses. We are 20 minutes from Dover famous for its port and picturesque castle.

Staff work on a rota basis with early shifts starting at 7:30am until 3pm and Evening shift starting at 2:30pm till 10pm and a 30 minutes shift change over period. The Cook is here Monday – Friday 8:45am-2:45pm and waking night support are here from the hours of 9pm till 8am for all the hours over night needs and also a staff member will sleep at the hour for any extra support needed.

All of the staff complete a full induction and are encouraged to attend further training including NVQ, Statutory training and other subjects relevant to the provision of care for the service users at the home. Staffing levels are determined by resident need and the number of service users but at all times we endeavour to ensure that there are at least 3-4 care staff on duty during the day and 2 care staff during the night to care for 7 residents.
