Operator acquires two new luxury care homes

HARTFORD Care has acquired two newly built state-of-the-art residential care homes in Aldershot, Hampshire and Swindon, Wiltshire.

Each home will offer 66 bedrooms and they have been designed with sustainability in mind, with significant renewable energy elements including solar panels, heat pumps and battery storage systems.

Kevin Shaw, chief executive of Hartford Care, said: “We’re extremely pleased to acquire these two care homes and it now brings us to 18 homes with more than 850 bedrooms.

“We are well on our way to achieving our goal to double in size within three years. Aldershot will be our sixth care home in Hampshire and Swindon our second in Wiltshire.”

The new homes have been developed by LNT Care Developments, a specialist in delivering future-proofed, operationally carbon-zero care homes that are designed around residents and operators.

Aldershot will be ready to open its doors to residents in March, with Swindon to follow in August; both homes will offer residential, dementia and respite care.

Established in 1908, Hartford Care’s head office is based in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

The 74-bed luxury home will also feature a spacious café bistro, a private dining room, a hair salon and nail bar, activity room/bar, a cinema, spacious resident lounges, dining rooms, quiet lounges, gymnasium and a sensory room.

“This is another example of NL Property’s attention to detail when delivering care homes that provide residents a comfortable stay in unique environments.”
