About Treetops

Over thirty years of caring, in one corner of Cliftonville

Treetops Care Home is based in the seaside town of Margate in Kent, providing residential care accommodation for elderly people or those with dementia related illnesses.

Treetops is a 21-bedroom residential home on Lower Northdown Avenue, a quiet, tree-lined street in the seaside suburb of Cliftonville, Margate. We have looked after older people here for over thirty years — long enough to know that good care is made of small, daily things done with attention.

Our home provides sensitive and skillful care in a warm and homely environment.

Our primary aim is to enable residents to live as normally as possible in a situation where their individuality, independence and personal dignity are respected.
