In May 2019, we were delighted to announce that we will be building our first new build care home in a decade at Lord Harris Court in Wokingham, Berkshire, which is due to be completed in summer 2021.

The new Home will provide 45 placements for residents and will offer nursing care and residential dementia care facilities with the latest assistive technologies and design, to ensure a personalised approach to care and support.

Following the completion of the new care home, we will then move into the next phase, which is the construction of the retirement community. The retirement community will be a new venture for RMBI Care Co. as part of expanding our services to truly offer “a home for life”. The site will consist of 60 apartments, a mix of one and two bedrooms, together with leisure facilities including a swimming pool, gym, restaurant, bar and other communal spaces, which will also be available for our care home residents.

The purpose of the retirement community is to combine high quality housing for older people with tailored support services. Residents will be able to maintain their privacy and independence, with the reassurance of 24-hour on-site staff and communal facilities. Our aim is to help people continue to live at home with the security, social support and activities that comes from being part of a wider community. Residents also have a peace of mind that, as and when needed, further care and support can be provided by our trained and dedicated staff.
