New Care has officially started build on a new, state-of-the-art £22.38m care facility in Herne Bay, Kent, its first in the South. Practical completion has been confirmed for August 2025.
The 67 bed care home, which will be known as Herne Bay Manor, is located directly off Canterbury Road on a derelict site that was formerly a Christian holiday camp.
At the start of the year New Care commenced remediation works, including the demolition of much of the site. Part of the existing building has been retained, with the façade still in situ, carefully supported whilst the foundations for the care home have been put in place.
Over the course of the last few weeks work has gathered pace and construction of the care facility has now started with the installation of the steelwork and metal frame underway.
With a dedicated commitment to the delivery of quality beds, New Care’s expertly designed ‘new generation’ care facility is purposely built to provide the highest standards of care in a safe and stylish home-from-home environment.
Outstanding residential, dementia and 24hr nursing care services will be offered, with residents receiving individual person-centred compassionate care enhanced with a meaningful programme of daily activities from a permanent and highly skilled professional team.
Herne Bay Manor will feature 67 fully furnished private bedrooms, each with their own private wet room, several stylish communal lounges and dining rooms, along with a nail bar and hairdresser. There will also be beautifully landscaped grounds with secure gardens and outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy.
Dawn Collett, Commissioning Director at New Care, comments: “Extensive remediation works were required, so it is great that these are now complete and that build of Herne Bay Manor is now underway. It won’t be long before the brickwork starts, and we see the shell of the building above the hoarding.
“With it being our first care facility in the South, we are looking forward to introducing our award-winning care services to Herne Bay next year.”
