The Lord Mayor of Canterbury Councillor Keji Moses and Lady Mayoress Carol Reed have officially opened a new £21m care-focussed retirement village in Herne Bay, Kent.
Visiting to commemorate build completion, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress cut a green ribbon to declare the development officially open and ready to welcome its first residents.
Located on Canterbury Road, the multi-million pound development has been completed by the McGoff Group, a £150m collective of award-winning construction-related businesses focussed on design, build, facilities management and operations through different group divisions including McGoff Construction, Dunham Care and Villafont Homes.
Working collaboratively, the Group has delivered a stunning development that features 50 beautiful retirement bungalows and a luxurious 67-bed care home that provides a complete rest-of-life solution for residents wishing to remain in Herne Bay in their later years.
Offering outstanding residential, nursing, dementia and respite care services, Dunham Care’s Herne Bay Manor is set to become one of Kent’s most highly sought after care homes.
Led by experienced home manager Trisha King, the property features en-suite private bedrooms, elegant lounges, dining rooms and communal areas, spa-assisted bathrooms and a beauty salon plus spacious grounds and an outdoor terrace to the first floor and is a superb space for residents and their families to enjoy.
Completing the development are 50 beautiful one and two-bedroom bungalows from Villafont. Offering a new concept in living for the over 60s, Herne Bay Gardens is retirement redefined enabling residents to live life to the fullest in a likeminded, friendly and vibrant community with the option to ask for a little extra help as and when they need it.
With more than 20% of the bungalows reserved at Herne Bay Gardens and Herne Bay Manor soon to welcome its first occupants, the team is looking forward to supporting residents as they transition to life in this stunning new community beside the sea.
The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress were joined by representatives from the McGoff Group for a tour around both developments and to meet some of the residents.
Lord Mayor Cllr Moses commented: “We are delighted to be here today to celebrate the completion of this beautiful new development that will support and enhance life for older individuals in our Herne Bay community.
“I have been impressed with the design and incredibly high standards of the care home, and also the superb quality and lifestyle concept of the bungalows. It has been great to view the whole development and meet the talented teams involved. I wish each of the new residents all the very best in their new homes. I am confident that they will be very happy here.”
Chairman of the McGoff Group, Dave McGoff, added: “We are grateful to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress for joining today and officially opening the development. As more residents move into their new homes, we are looking forward to seeing the new community come to life providing a good lifestyle, comfort and care for local individuals wishing to remain in this highly desirable part of Kent.”
Designed, developed and delivered by the McGoff Group, Herne Bay Manor and Herne Bay Gardens set new standards in aspirational living for those in later life offering an enhanced and elevated lifestyle with proven health, social and wellbeing benefits for all.
