Our purpose-built luxury care home sits in the centre of Chatham Waters.
Full on-site facilities to encourage socialising and community building within a comfortable, safe, and supportive space for later living.
75 bedrooms with full ensuite wet room, a dementia friendly bistro café, hair salon, cinema, bar, library, multiple communal spaces and a sensory rooftop garden for residents to enjoy and relax in.
Plenty of spaces within the Care Home for community events, relaxation and exercise to look after the mental and physical wellness of residents.
We will actively engage with the local community and hold activities within the home, including cinema screenings, cooking demonstrations, musical events and school visits, to stimulate residents’ interest and help prolong a great quality of life.
We will be partnering with local creatives, artists and makers on the interior design and fit-out of the Care Home.
Located just 1.4 miles away from The Medway Maritime Hospital, the new home aims to help address the crisis in ‘bed blocking’ in NHS hospital beds by providing step-up and step-down care services.
The Care Home is uniquely positioned to provide bespoke accommodation and services which cannot be replicated in existing homes within Medway, to offer a more suitable location for people ready to be discharged from hospital.
The recently completed Linear Park sits right next to the Care Home and is part of 3.5 acres of green space in the dock gardens & waterfront promenade.

Our Community Vision
Chatham Waters is an exciting regeneration development focusing on the features of the historic naval boatyard including the waterside setting offering a promenade with bars and restaurants in the heart of the town.
Strategically located to build upon local heritage to create a new community benefitting from a truly mixed development of Retail, hospitality, education, healthcare and residential are integrated around river frontages.
This community will respond to our own vision for the future of care homes which offer facilities for not just residents but for everyone.
Activities in the Care Home such as cinema, cooking demonstrations, hairdressing, musical events and school children’s visits will all encourage local people to be welcome in and become involved in activities.
Such activities will stimulate resident’s interest and help to prolong purpose in life. This approach will build local community links and recommendations will be our most successful marketing tool.
There is a mixture of freehold, affordable and shared ownership residential accommodation available with a wide variety of sizes available.
The residential development has been planned to engineer a mixed community of ages, occupations and socio-economic groups.
As families become established in our new community, they may consider re-locating elderly relatives to the Care Home so they can provide closer support.
This new community will also offer accommodation for many potential employees taking the opportunity to work closer to home.
The Care Home may well attract people, particularly those seeking flexible hours, to chose to live in Chatham Waters.
This is an area that is offering a new lifestyle whilst remaining very much part of the urban fabric, well connected to the rest of Medway and Kent.
Local Care Home provision is comparatively old and provided within small premises often lacking in many of the facilities of our modern Luxury Care Home.
