Seven prestigious retirement homes dotted across England, encompassing the landscapes of West Sussex and Warwickshire
KYN, a privately-owned group, is making waves in the care home industry with its unique blend of compassionate care and luxurious living spaces. Founded by individuals inspired by their own experiences of searching for care, KYN homes prioritise residents' wellbeing and dignity, creating elegant, welcoming environments designed by renowned interior designer Nina Campbell.
Expert Care Services
KYN provides both residential and nursing care, with in-house nurses, vocational carers, dementia specialists, and physiotherapists available to meet residents' varying needs. This comprehensive care approach ensures that every resident receives personalised attention and support.
Luxurious Interiors and Facilities
Homes under the KYN umbrella boast elegantly styled interiors with high-quality furnishings, comfortable private bedrooms, and inviting shared spaces for dining and relaxation. Outdoor terraces and gardens further enhance the living experience.
Multiple Locations
Current KYN homes include KYN Bickley, which opened in February 2023, and KYN Hurlingham, set to open in June 2024. Further sites are under development in London areas such as Highgate and Kensington.
Resident-Centric Amenities
KYN homes are not retirement villages; residents pay weekly rates rather than purchasing properties. Social areas with a community atmosphere provide a true sense of home, not just a care facility.
Other Notable Care Homes
Orchard Yard in Wingham, Kent, offers a different yet equally charming option. Managed by a not-for-profit organization, Orchard Yard features nine houses and six apartments for residents aged 55 or more, set in the walled farmyard of a 15th-century, Grade II-listed Wingham Court. Orchard Yard offers a range of amenities including a wildlife pond, an orchard, communal gardens with individual vegetable gardens and a large table for alfresco dining, a clubhouse, gym, stretch studio, and a bookable guest suite.
Siddington Park in Gloucestershire, a scheme by later-life specialists Rangeford Villages, offers a choice of apartments in the Grange and the Pavilion, with facilities including a spa, gym, dance studio, craft room, cinema, and 24-hour emergency support.
