Avante Care & Support
Communities where everyone has a vibrant and fulfilling life
About Avante Care & Support
Avante Care & Support is a not-for-profit charity that operates 11 care homes across Kent, Bexley, and Greenwich. We care for and support over 1,000 older adults, delivering a range of services, including nursing care, specialist dementia care, and respite care for families and loved ones. We also provide home care and wellbeing support services, enabling our residents and service users to maintain their independence and quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.
With over 30 years of expertise in the care industry, we focus on delivering excellent care and wellbeing to our care home residents and those receiving our home care support.
We ensure that everyone we care for has a vibrant and fulfilling life, striving to enhance wellness by eliminating loneliness and boredom. We care and support you with your needs. We are committed to making a positive difference for those we care for and work with as part of our team. With the belief that ‘everyone matters’, we have a person-centred approach when developing our resident care plans, meeting individual needs.
As a charity, Avante Care & Support is more than a care home community; it’s a new lease of life for those we care for and work with. We’re a close-knit team, reinvesting everything into our services, including surplus profits. Our goal is to make our communities vibrant and welcoming.
Our dedicated and highly trained care team offers person-centred care, supporting you with your new journey.
We’re proud to help you continue the next stage in your life to thrive and live in dignity.
Our Care Home Locations
All our care homes can cater to specialist dementia, residential, and respite care for those wanting a break from caregiving. Four of our care homes specialise in nursing, including Amherst Court in Chatham, Barnes Lodge in Tonbridge, Chaucer House in Canterbury, and Puddingstone Grange in Plumstead, London. We were recently granted planning permission by Thanet District Council to develop a 70-bed care home in Westgate-On-Sea, expected to open in Spring 2026.
We are committed to creating an enriching experience and positive difference for those in our care. We believe that ‘everyone matters’, and our compassionate, expertly trained nurses and care staff tailor our care plans to your individual needs. Our mission is to operate care home communities ‘where everyone can thrive and have a vibrant and fulfilling life’.
