An exciting new care home for Odiham set near the historic High Street

Highwood is constructing a new 57-bed care home for leading UK care provider Barchester Healthcare on land adjoining Crownfields, Odiham, near Hook in Hampshire. The two-storey development occupies a 2.19-acre site on the northern edge of Odiham, close to the High Street and just north of RAF Odiham. 

The new care home will offer a mix of residential and specialist dementia care, with 21 dedicated ‘Memory Lane’ bedrooms and a deluxe twin suite among its accommodation. Designed for comfort, safety and independence, the completed home will feature elegant communal lounges, a café, a number of dining rooms and a cinema for residents to enjoy film screenings and social events. Each floor will include a spa bathroom to enhance wellbeing and relaxation. 

Residents will also benefit from a daily schedule of live and virtual activities tailored to individual interests, supporting Barchester Healthcare’s ethos of promoting dignity, choice and engagement in a warm, community-led environment.

The new Odiham care home represents an important addition to the area’s provision of high-quality care accommodation. Construction began in August 2024 and is scheduled for completion in March 2026, with the home due to open in summer 2026.

A carefully planned and community-focused development

Given the site’s proximity to existing housing and its semi-rural setting, particular care has been taken to plan construction logistics sensitively, maintaining strong communication with the local community and minimising disruption throughout the build. Sustainability has also been central to the project’s design and delivery. The building and landscape strategies prioritise low-carbon materials, energy efficiency and biodiversity enhancements, ensuring the scheme integrates harmoniously with its surroundings. 

When the care home opens, it will provide a welcoming and purpose-built environment that reflects Highwood’s commitment to quality, sustainability and community value.
