Signature MIRAMAR CARE HOME
If you are familiar with the Herne Bay area you will know the Signature Miramar Care Home very
well indeed, as its been part of the local community for many years now. But if you are from further
afield in Kent, then you may not know that nestled next to the coastal path in the village of Beltinge,
next to Herne Bay, is the purpose built care home. It boasts the best views in the area – across the
sea from one side and a beautiful garden from the other.

If you or someone you know are
looking at care home possibilities
then this is the place to come. From
independent to dementia, nursing,
and palliative care, it can cater to
all needs. It also has a selection of
apartments available (yes, your own
apartment not just a room) with one
and two bed options which, if you
are a couple, means you can live
together quite easily even if you
have different care needs.
All the apartments have state-ofthe-art en suite wet rooms designed
so that you can easily access them

even if you have limited mobility.
The buzzers in each room mean
that you can press a button and a
carer will be there in an instant to
attend to your needs. Laundry, bills,
maintenance and housekeeping are
all taken care of so you don’t need
to worry about anything.

residents can get out and about with ease and safety.
The highlight of the day for many of the residents is also the fantastic firstclass restaurant on the ground floor of the home which has a daily changing
three-course menu for lunch and dinner and a full English for breakfast. If
you have a special diet then the chef can cater for it. The best thing is that
relatives and friends can join the residents for lunch too if they wish. Residents
also benefit from facilities such as the gorgeous garden, hairdressing salon
and bistro coffee shop along with the sea view lounge area for relaxation.

The focus of the Miramar
community is on enjoying life and
keeping fit and healthy – with lots
of activities on offer on a daily basis
from arm chair yoga, coastal walks,
art club, and music in the
afternoons, to cheese and wine and

All in all, not what you imagine a care home to be like and you have to see
