Westgate-on-Sea and Margate Care home
THE GREAT BRITISH CARE AWARDS 2023
Finalist: Home Manager Award
We encourage our residents to maintain as much independence as possible, whilst also experiencing all the benefits of assisted living; providing peace of mind for residents and their families.
St. Michael’s offers residents their own privacy and space whilst also being part of a community, so there’s always someone to have a chat with – whether that’s a fellow resident or one of the friendly care team.

Living Well
Staying active is hugely beneficial for both mental and physical wellbeing, and we offer a whole host of activities and events to keep our residents busy!
- Activities and companionship: As well as a packed activities schedule - which includes gardening, arts and crafts, flower arranging, painting or playing games (to name but a few!) - we also have a beautiful garden, where we regularly host activities for residents to enjoy.
- Food and nutrition: What you eat is hugely important to living well in later life so all of our meals are homemade, nutritionally balanced and delicious! Our talented chefs cater for all dietary requirements, with the menus reflecting a balance of residents’ needs and preferences.

Friends & Family
We understand the importance of visits from family and
friends, and the many benefits they bring to our residents.
As part of our dynamic risk-based approach to visiting our care home, we offer in-room visits (two people at a time, in line with the current government guidance*), COVID-19 safe family meeting rooms and outdoor socially distant family meeting areas, which all offer ways that relatives can visit their loved ones in person.
Video calls and phone calls are also available if a physical visit isn’t possible, so families can still keep in touch.
