Hallmark Care Homes has been granted planning consent to transform St Raphael’s care home in Bromley into a £30m state-of-the-art development.
Care home construction specialist Savista Developments will redevelop the existing disused care home into a larger 107-bed, specialist dementia home for residents with a range of care needs.
Designed to Hallmark’s outstanding standards, the scheme will provide extensive facilities including a cinema, café/bistro, shop, hair salon, gym, spa, ten pin bowling alley, hobby rooms and library. High-quality gardens will include a residents’ garden club area.
“The home will have a number of innovative ideas and new features that we are looking to showcase when it opens in 2023,” said Hallmark group operations director Aneurin Brown.
Savista anticipates starting construction within the next two months.
“The new care home in Bromley represents a new phase of expansion for Savista. We are very pleased to help meet the growing demand for specialist care in the area,” said Savista chief executive Kevin Shaw.
“Alongside the Bromley scheme, we have a number of exciting projects in the pipeline and are seeking new land opportunities. We look forward to working with our partners and stakeholders to expand on our delivery of care homes and retirement living developments across the UK,” he added.
