“I am pleased that after much hard work by the team, we have acquired this site to strengthen the group’s presence in Kent. Hythe is a great opportunity for us to continue developing top quality homes, providing the highest quality care to residents. We are very excited to begin work on our latest new development.”

Following a reserved matters planning application in the next few weeks, construction on the care home will commence in late 2023 with Boutique Care Homes committing over £10 million in investment into the local area. The care home will also generate over 70 new jobs as well as bringing a new standard of luxury and family centred care to the area.
