Denne delivers new care home in Orpington

Denne, part of the Leadbitter Group, has completed construction of a new care home on the outskirts of Orpington, Kent, for Care UK.

Foxbridge House provides a high quality environment with a homely atmosphere for older people and enables those living with dementia to stay independent, active and engaged for longer than they would be able to in the wider community.

Bright and spacious, the home boasts 84 luxury bedrooms, each with superb facilities.

There is also a shop, hairdressing salon, café and library, all set around a tranquil, indoor village space. External landscaping has been designed carefully to enhance residents’ quality of life and includes a communal, sensory and herbal garden with a large water feature. Patio gardens with raised planters also allow the residents to grow their own plants in comfortable surroundings.

Further design aspects include the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof and a combined heat and power unit, which helped Denne achieve a BREEAM Very Good rating for the project.

Locally sourced materials were used wherever possible and 98% of waste was recycled, with demolition material crushed on site and used in hard landscaping areas. Additionally, ceiling heights were set to use full sheets of plasterboard (to avoid cutting and wastage) and timber hoarding was removed carefully and re-used on other sites.

Nick Brown, Deputy Managing Director of Denne, said: “Denne has a wealth of experience in the care sector. Working in partnership with Care UK we have helped to deliver these much needed, specialist care services in a bright, welcoming and efficient building.”
