Hartford Care has partnered with the Highwood Group to develop a new care home in Fordingbridge, Hampshire.
The 70-bed home will be Hartford Care’s tenth in Hampshire, and 22nd in the South of England, with construction due to begin in early 2025. Highwood will be developing the home in partnership with Hartford Care. The two companies already have two schemes under construction in Alton and Southampton.
The new home will offer dementia care, residential care, nursing care, respite breaks, and end of life care, and will be located alongside eight newly built houses and landscaped public open space. It will be built with industry-leading sustainability credentials and will be rated BREEAM Excellent, with significant renewable energy elements, including solar panels, heat pumps, and smart energy systems.
Hartford Care chief executive Kevin Shaw said: “We are delighted to continue our growing partnership with Highwood with the development of another state-of-the-art care home. The addition of the Fordingbridge home brings us to 22 homes, with over 1,200 bedrooms, allowing us to extend our expert specialist care and ‘home from home’ environment to as many people as possible.”
Phil Prosser, managing director of Highwood, commented: “Having built a solid partnership that spans back over a decade, we are excited to add Fordingbridge to a growing portfolio of best-in-class care homes delivered for Hartford Care, with several more already in the pipeline.”
