How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
We offer some of the lowest service charges in the retirement sector which is why many of our Residents are pleasantly surprised to find that the service charges work out lower than what they were paying, in comparable costs, on their previous home.
This is because the service charge combines a wide range of services and property-related expenses into a combined cost. Residents find they benefit from a more manageable and easier-to-budget lifestyle, without having to worry about unexpected maintenance bills.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Residents, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
The service charge covers:
- The cost of your dedicated Lodge Manager
- Security systems
- 24-hour Careline call monitoring system
- External maintenance of the building and grounds
- Heating & lighting of communal areas
- Provision of furnishings in communal areas
- Building insurance
Who is responsible for the management of the Lodge?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, so you can be confident in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
No exit fees, meaning no unexpected costs!
In 2025 we announced that Residents will no longer pay any exit fees when selling or subletting their apartments, making the process far more straightforward and hassle-free. Whilst many retirement housing providers still apply fees, we have set a new standard by abolishing them entirely - helping to provide greater peace of mind and making life simpler both for Residents and their families!
Calculating your savings...
We appreciate everyone's household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a 'Savings Calculator' with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.
Rainham is one of the Medway towns in north Kent, set where the North Downs descend toward the River Medway. Steeped in maritime history and close to Gillingham, Chatham, and Rochester, it offers leisure facilities, parks, and everyday amenities, making it a convenient place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the Medway estuary and the North Downs offer level waterside walks and open countryside, while historic Rochester and the Chatham dockyard are close by. Fast trains and the nearby M2 also make London and the Kent coast easy to reach for wider days out.
Local highlights
A short distance away, Rochester is known for its Norman castle keep and one of England's oldest cathedrals, set among historic streets with a Charles Dickens connection. Level pavements, independent shops, and tea rooms make it an easy and characterful day out.
The Historic Dockyard Chatham, a short drive away, preserves centuries of naval history across its galleries, warships, and Victorian ropery. Largely level walkways, a café, and seated tours make it an easy and interesting day out into the area's maritime past.
Nearby Capstone Farm Country Park offers meadows, woodland, and a lake crossed by waymarked paths, with a visitor centre and café. Level routes and open green space make it a relaxed spot for fresh air and a short walk.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“When moving to Bond Lodge I received fantastic support from Churchill throughout the moving process, especially from my specialist downsizing adviser Karen. I brought 104 boxes with me, and thanks to her help they were all unpacked in a day!”
“I have been very happy since moving to Lewis Carroll Lodge. There are a lot of activities every week and I have made many friends. Fay and I have a great time going to the theatre, out for lunch or sometimes just wandering round the town. I have never had such a busy social life.”
