Award winning national care provider, Barchester Healthcare, has broken ground on a brand new 67 bed luxury care home development in Hextable.
The new home is being built by Horizon Construction, and is owned and will be operated by Barchester Healthcare. The home will provide personalised residential, dementia and respite care for older people in Swanley and the surrounding areas from early 2026.

The luxury new home has been designed with residents’ comfort in mind with a café for residents to socialise and enjoy freshly baked treats, spa bathrooms for a luxury bath time experience, beautiful en-suite bedrooms with smart TVs, a choice of comfortable lounges, a dedicated activities room, a cinema for an authentic movie experience, and in-house hair and beauty salon for a little bit of pampering.

Barchester Healthcare is committed to providing a premium caring experience. Barchester staff take pride in getting to know each of their residents to provide tailored care and support, ensuring dignity and choice in every aspect of daily life. Once open, the home will provide a dedicated Life Enrichment programme which includes a choice of daily activities so that residents can continue to do the things they love, try something new and above all keep the enjoyment in every day. Talented chefs will prepare delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals from seasonal menus, created with residents’ preferences in mind.

Senior Property Development Manager at Barchester, John McElholm, commented: “We are really excited to get this project under way. Our Hextable home will be a fantastic addition to the local community.”

Steve Tilley, Commercial Director for Horizon, said: “We are delighted to be starting this new project working with Barchester Healthcare for the first time. 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 2026.”

The care home will have an on-site marketing suite that will open its doors to the local community and visitors in Winter 2025.
