Hartford Care has entered into a partnership with the Highwood Group to develop a state-of-the-art residential care home in Fordingbridge, Hampshire.
The new 70-bedroom care home, on Whitsbury Road, will be Hartford Care’s tenth home in Hampshire, and 22nd home in the South of England, with construction of the property to commence in Spring 2025.
Highwood, an expert in delivering inspired and sustainable care homes, will be developing the home, in a continuing partnership between the two companies, which already has two new schemes currently 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 positioned 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.
Kevin Shaw, Chief Executive of Hartford Care, comments: “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, says: “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”
