Hartford Care has acquired two newly built residential care homes in Alton and Southampton in Hampshire.
The new home in Alton – Hartford’s second in the town – will offer residential, dementia and respite care across 67 bedrooms, and will be positioned alongside a new landscaped public open space. The Southampton home – Hartford’s third in the area – will offer the same range of care across 70 bedrooms set within landscaped grounds.
The two homes are being developed by Highwood, an expert in delivering inspired and sustainable care homes, in collaboration with Octopus Investments’ specialist healthcare funding division. Both homes will have industry-leading sustainability credentials and will be rated BREEAM Excellent, with significant renewable energy elements including solar panels, heat pumps, and battery storage systems.
Hartford Care chief executive Kevin Shaw said: “We’re extremely pleased to add these new state-of-the-art care homes in Alton and Southampton to our portfolio. It now brings us to 20 homes with over 1,100 bedrooms and we are well on our way to achieving our goal to double in size within three years and provide our specialist care and ‘home from home’ environment to as many people as possible.”
Phil Prosser, development director at Highwood, added: “We’re delighted to have agreed terms on these state-of-the-art schemes with Hartford Care. It’s exciting to reignite a relationship that stretches back over a decade and has led to a number of care home project successes – we’re very much looking forward to working together again.”
