Construction underway on Herne Bay home

Construction has begun on a new £22.38m care home in Herne Bay, Kent, with practical completion confirmed for August 2025.

The 67 bed Herne Bay Manor will be located on a derelict site that was formerly a Christian holiday camp. At the start of the year, New Care – part of the McGoff Group – 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 while the foundations for the care home have been put in place.

Construction of the home has now started with the installation of the steelwork and metal frame underway. Herne Bay Manor will feature several communal lounges and dining rooms, along with a nail bar and hairdresser.  There will also be landscaped grounds with secure gardens and outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy.

Dawn Collett, commissioning director at New Care, said: “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 region, we are looking forward to introducing our award-winning care services to Herne Bay next year.”
