Care UK and Barchester kick off £47m care home developments across Southern England

Four new homes set to provide 274 beds across Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire from late 2027.

Two of the UK’s largest care home groups have struck a deal with longstanding construction partner Kori to work on four new care home developments, according to the building firm.

The projects, with a combined value of £47m, will provide 274 new beds across the South of England, according to the developer, which has previously completed four schemes for Barchester Healthcare and three for Care UK, with a further project for the latter already underway.

The two developments for Care UK comprise a 78-bedroom care home in Burnham, Buckinghamshire and a 72-bedroom scheme in Weybridge, Hampshire on a site that will require demolition of an existing office building.

The Barchester Healthcare projects comprise a 64-bedroom home in Liss,, Surrey and a 60-bedroom nursing home in Crowthorne, Berkshire, with the latter designed to support elderly, frail and ‘memory care’ people.

The plans for all four schemes involve private en-suite accommodation, alongside a range of communal amenities, including cafés, lounges, dining areas and landscaped gardens.

The developer said the schemes are scheduled for completion from late 2027 through 2028 and will incorporate site-specific social value initiatives, including employment, skills development and community engagement.
