Hartford Care is partnering with Highwood Group to develop a state-of-the-art residential care home in Eastleigh, Hampshire.
Construction on the 70-bed home will commence in the autumn subject to planning, with the home scheduled to open in 2027.
The new home will offer dementia care, residential care, nursing care, respite breaks, and end of life care. It will be rated BREEAM Excellent, with significant renewable energy elements including solar panels, heat pumps, and smart energy systems.
The scheme is the latest for the continuing partnership between the two companies, which already has two new homes currently under construction in Alton and Southampton – both due to open to residents in May – and the acquisition of a care home in Fordingbridge, New Forest, with construction due to begin this summer.
Kevin Shaw, chief executive of Hartford Care, said: “Fundamental to our growth strategy is the high quality of care we offer and the ways in which we enhance the lives of our residents. Our ongoing partnership with Highwood strongly supports this commitment through the delivery of exceptional, future-proof buildings and facilities. The new home in Eastleigh enables us to extend our expert specialist care and ‘home from home’ environment to even more people.”
Highwood Homes MD Phil Prosser commented: “We’re delighted to add another home to the Hartford Care and Highwood partnership which spans over a decade. The delivery of a new care home in Eastleigh will build on the recent successes at Alton Place and Moorhill [Southampton], both now close to build completion, and the recent acquisition of a care home in Fordingbridge. These new homes form a growing portfolio of best-in-class facilities for Hartford Care, with several more already in the pipeline.”
