“The new luxury home will provide 66 single en-suite bedrooms with shared lounges and separate dining areas, an activity space for the homes’ lifestyle enrichment programmes, as well as secure, landscaped gardens, providing, peaceful, beautiful outdoor spaces for our prospective residents. Work has commenced on site this month and is due for completion in March 2020, opening shortly after. We feel there is a real need for quality care in the local area, and our new home will definitely meet this, and potentially give a boost to employment in neighbouring communities.”

Chairman at New Care, part of the McGoff Group, Dominic Kay, added: “McGoff Construction has a long history of expertise in the design and construction of exceptional new build care centres. We are delighted to further develop our partnership with Barchester and start work on our sixth project for them; a project that will ultimately improve the quality of care in Kent and provide a beautifully designed alternative for those looking for better care for themselves or a loved one in the local area.”
