Specialist care for young people with disabilities

Bethany Lodge & Bethany House are specialist homes for young adults who have a physical disability. Each home is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide Nursing & Residential Care.

Bethany Lodge is a purpose built unit. It was opened in 1992 and had 24 single rooms all of which are on the ground ﬂoor.

Bethany House was opened in 1997 having been purpose designed and built for clients with disabilities. There are 15 single rooms all of which are en-suite with their own toilet, washbasin and shower.

Bethany Lodge & Bethany House are located on the southern coast of Kent at Dymchurch. The sea, the town and its amenities are a short walk away over level ground, making it ideal for wheelchair users.

The management of both homes places great emphasis on staff training and development, which helps maintain high standards of care for our clients through developing a learning environment for our staff. We have been recognised as an Investor in People (I.I.P) since 1998.
