Nestled at the end of a private, winding driveway and surrounded by greenery, the Home is at the heart of the village community with local shops and transport links to Longfield, London and the Kent coast.<\/p>\n Our 41 rooms have been tastefully styled to meet individual tastes, but we encourage our residents and families to personalise their rooms and we are happy to give any assistance with this. No job is too big or too small and our maintenance team are happy to help paint a room, hang pictures, put up shelves or move furniture around. Lift access makes it easy for our residents to move freely around the Home and there is easy access to several gardens and a terraced area. Our Housekeepers work tirelessly to maintain a clean and welcoming environment.<\/p>\n Despite being a period building, the Home is spacious and has been tastefully extended to provide a light and airy conservatory that boasts beautiful views across the valley. Our tearoom and dining areas also provide a relaxing space for our residents to enjoy private time with their friends and family.<\/p>\n Our Recreation and Well-Being Team and Carers support our residents to remain as independent as possible and encourage them to continue enjoying their own hobbies and interests. The team provides activities five days a week, enjoying anything from art and crafts and baking, to watching movies or sports. Our garden overlooks the Fawkham Valley and is the perfect setting for a spot of gardening, a BBQ or just enjoying some fresh air.<\/p>\n With Millbrook Garden Centre, Hall Place and Gravesend Promenade close by we also make the most of our minibus for visiting local places of interest and enjoying country drives. Family and friends are always welcome to join us.<\/p>\n In the warmer months, we enjoy our front-of-house garden which has a BBQ and summer house, with ample shade from the sun provided by the old oak trees. Families are encouraged to join us for a BBQ or one of our many special events. With decorations, entertainment and often fancy dress, all our team members and residents join in with gusto \u2013 especially when the karaoke machine appears!<\/p>\n Our gardens attract a great deal of wildlife, particularly the squirrels whose antics are always entertaining! We also enjoy the varied bird life (including our resident woodpecker) and often wild rabbits too.<\/p>\n Well-being and personal care go hand in hand, and we ensure that everyone\u2019s needs are taken care of. We have our own salon with a hairdresser for the ladies and a barber for the gentlemen, plus a well-equipped nail bar for those who would like a manicure. We are also visited by chiropodists, district nurses, speech therapists and eye care specialists. Our Well-Being Team are also available for booking hand-massages, manicures, reflexology and other holistic treatments.<\/p>\n More on Recreation & Leisure<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/the-old-downs.nellsar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-old-downs-at-the-heart.jpg” alt=”The Old Downs At The Heart” title_text=”The Old Downs At The Heart” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||30px” border_radii=”|36px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/the-old-downs.nellsar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-old-downs-recreation-and-well-being.jpg” alt=”The Old Downs Recreation and Well-being” title_text=”The Old Downs Recreation and Well-being” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_radii=”|||36px|” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|on|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”20px||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|30px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Steeped in history, The Old Downs has been both a private family home and a school since its beginnings in 1887.
