Last Tuesday, Chris Young, Richard Tavener and Natalie Eccles from RDT joined Members of Avante's Executive Team, Chair of the Board of Trustees and Chairs of the Board sub-committees, on the site of a new Avante Care & Support care home in Westgate-On-Sea, to celebrate the commencement of its construction.

This event marks a key milestone in the development of this modern care facility, which will provide vital services to the community.

The new 70-bed care home will offer state-of-the-art amenities designed to support the needs of local residents. In addition to high-quality care, the home will feature interior designs inspired by local Kent themes, stunning balcony terraces, and a variety of internal amenities aimed at enhancing residents' daily lives.

Chris Francis, Avante’s Director of Property and Development said, “We are delighted to see how the project is progressing, it’s our first brand new care home for more than 10 years and is an important step forward in our strategic growth ambitions. It has been made possible by the excellent partnership working with the project team and we look forward to the home opening its doors to new residents in early 2026”.

The construction of the care home is set to have a positive impact on the local economy, with the creation of between 50 and 100 jobs during its development and operational phases and aligns with Avante Care & Support’s vision - "Communities where everyone has a vibrant and fulfilling life."

Avante Care & Support is proud to be working alongside Lawrence Baker, a specialist care home contractor, RDT Architects and Ridge and Partners LLP as project managers to bring this innovative facility to life.
