Enhancing Care and Community
At Archer Villages & Care Homes, the Board have announced a significant and positive evolution in our commitment to providing exceptional care and vibrant communities for our residents.
We are embarking on an exciting journey to consolidate our care home offerings into a single and central clinical hub at Archer Beckenham.
This strategic move is designed to continue to provide a continuum of care, foster greater community inclusiveness, and ensure a sustainable future for the entire Archer group.
A New Era of Enhanced Care
This consolidation means that all Rest Home, Hospital, and Dementia care services will now be housed under one roof at our Archer Beckenham care facility.
This creates a truly integrated clinical hub, allowing for seamless transitions between care levels and even more coordinated, comprehensive support for our residents.
We are particularly excited to share that this expansion will lead to a significant increase in the number of dementia beds available at our new clinical hub, enhancing our capacity to serve those with memory care needs.
Residents from any Archer Village will continue to receive priority entry to our care facility, ensuring peace of mind and continuity of care as their health needs change.
New Beginnings for Thorrington
As part of this positive transformation, our Thorrington Care Home will be closing its care facilities.
However, this opens up wonderful new possibilities for the Thorrington site!
We are repurposing a portion of the existing studio rooms into beautifully designed, one-bedroom apartments, which will soon be available for new residents under Occupational Rights Agreements. This offers a fantastic opportunity for individuals seeking lower-cost spacious and modern living within the Archer Village community.
The Archer Board is also actively exploring a wide range of options for the future use of the Thorrington Care Home site. This could involve adapting existing facilities, repurposing the space, or redeveloping that section of the village. We’re engaging with potential partners to ensure this cherished location continues to contribute positively to the community.
Strengthening Our Foundation for Tomorrow
This proactive and positive change positions Archer to better respond to a changing market, enhancing our financial resilience and creating broader opportunities for future development.
It’s a testament to our dedication to continuous improvement and our vision for a thriving future for all our residents and the wider Archer family.
We believe these changes will create a more robust, responsive, and resident-focused environment, ensuring Archer Villages & Care Homes remains a leading provider of compassionate and high-quality senior living.
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting new chapter!
