Barchester Healthcare, has broken ground on a brand new 67 bed luxury care home development on Hermitage Lane in Maidstone
The new home, which will be named Orchid Place, is being built by Jenner (Contractors) Ltd, and is owned and will be operated by Barchester Healthcare. The home will provide personalised residential, dementia and respite care for older people in Maidstone and the surrounding areas from early 2028.
The luxury new home will feature a café for residents, spa bathrooms, en-suite bedrooms, lounges, an activities room, a cinema and an in-house hair and beauty salon.
Senior property development manager at Barchester, John McElholm, commented: “We are really excited to get this project under way. Our Maidstone home will be a fantastic addition to the local community.”
Aaron Stoakes, senior surveyor for Jenner, said: “We are delighted to be starting this new project working with Barchester Healthcare once again. We are looking forward to the build process and working closely with the Barchester team. This is a fantastic looking building sited in a great location. Together with our management team and carefully chosen sub-contractors, we will deliver this project as planned by early 2028.”
The care home will have an on-site marketing suite that will open its doors to the local community and visitors in Autumn 2027.
