Yew Tree Lodge is a residential home for the elderly and the EMI and is run by Yew Tree Lodge (Holdings) Ltd. Under the directorship of Mr and Mrs Ali, this family run business has established a reputation over the last quarter a century for providing the highest quality care.

‘It is our intention to ensure that this quality care not only continues but grows, extending to providing comprehensive home care in individually decorated single rooms with en-suite facilities.

Our building was constructed in 1875 as a school to serve the local village community. It was renovated to become a residential home for the elderly in 1980. Further improvements and extensions were made in the 1990s and now further extensions are planned for 2005/2006.
At the moment we are providing residence for up to thirty people in a variety of accommodation – single, shared and ensuite. We have three extensive lounges, including one on the first floor with beautiful views over the Medway Estuary.

Our residents are from all walks of life, and have included people of great repute locally and nationally. They include mayors, (local as well as from other parts of the country) councillors, historians, educationalists, retired nurses, and even famous prisoners of the Second World War, who served time in Japanese prisoner of war camps. Some of these famous residents have allowed their pictures to remain in our Home’s picture gallery.
