Local dignitaries have attended a topping out ceremony at Boutique Care Homes’ Keymer Hall Care Home in Burgess Hill, West Sussex.
Leader of Burgess Hill Town Council Cllr Peter Williams, Mayor of Burgess Hill Cllr Janice Henwood, and Burgess Hill town council chief executive Julie Holden were given a tour of the 68-bed home, which will offer residential, dementia, and short-stay care along with a bistro, landscaped gardens, a hair and beauty salon, and a dedicated hobby room.
Cllr Peter Williams said: “It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to tour the new Keymer Hall Care Home during its construction stage and to see first-hand the quality of the work being carried out, both inside and out. I was honoured to be chosen to lay a roof tile in the topping out ceremony and wish to thank the Boutique Care Homes team and their contractors for providing such a warm welcome. Within a short time, Keymer Hall will become part of the Burgess Hill community, and I look forward to visiting again when it is open.”
Cllr Janice Henwood said: “It was good to see the progress since I last dug the first hole to initiate the building process. Boutique Care Homes is keen to engage with the local community and support local businesses. The town wishes them well.”
Julie Holden commented: “We are excited for this new care home to come to Burgess Hill. Quality living for our elderly residents when they need a little more support is so important. Keymer Hall, with its varied opportunities for activities and outdoor space, is going to be a beautiful home for many of our residents for years to come.”
Boutique Care Homes’ Carl Roberts added: “We are incredibly grateful for the warm welcome we have received from the Burgess Hill community and the support from local leaders as we reach this important milestone. At Keymer Hall we believe care is more than just a service; it is a profound feeling of comfort, security, and genuine connection. This vision comes to life through thoughtfully designed spaces, personalised care, and strong community engagement. The home will provide exceptional care while actively fostering intergenerational projects, hosting local events, and offering a welcoming space for schools, charities, and community groups to connect.”
