Broomfield House, Care Home, Chelmsford

Natta has been appointed to deliver the full construction package for this care home on a full design and build basis for our client Graham Care. Works include both the core building construction and all associated external works for this 99-bed care home.

The project involves the construction of access roads and car parks designed to support safe, efficient movement for both vehicles and pedestrians across the site. Key programme elements include extensive drainage and infrastructure works, as well as the coordination and installation of all incoming services.

The development will be a four-storey, purpose-built facility comprising 99 high-quality supported living suites. The ground floor will incorporate the main entrance and service areas for the care home, as well as residential suites, together with a new local convenience store. In addition, a basement level provides a hydrotherapy pool and dedicated retail space, enhancing the lifestyle offering for residents and supporting a broad spectrum of care needs. The central hub is also glazed from floor to ceiling, allowing natural light to enter.

By incorporating wall projections, differing roof levels, living wall covering, contrasting materials including timber, render, and red brick, the design successfully softens and minimises the building’s vertical mass.

Designed in accordance with the latest standards and best practices in elderly care provision, the facility will provide specialist nursing and dementia care in a modern, comfortable environment tailored to the complex needs of residents. High-quality finishes, modern design principles, and a strong emphasis on resident well-being are integral to the overall specification.
