Innovative new care home in Bromley opens February 2023
The first of its kind, KYN BICKLEY will provide a pioneering approach to care which prioritises the individual – rather than categorising by age or condition.
Created with the highest standards of personalised, holistic care, KYN BICKLEY will challenge the industry’s ‘one size fits all’ model, providing residents with a home that considers physical, emotional and existential health.
Before any resident moves in, KYN takes the time to get to know them, understanding their personality and passions, as well as their individual needs. They use
this to create a bespoke approach for each resident, developing a personalised care plan with a dedicated nurse, senior carer and support team who share their interests and take care of them like family. The highly personalised care team will provide support
as and when required, allowing residents to dictate their own lifestyle as they always have. Emphasis is placed on giving residents autonomy, for instance with no set schedule to adhere to (including mealtimes) and an atmosphere that promotes individual pursuits
alongside plenty of opportunities to socialise, building a community and a sense of home. Even the detail of staff uniform has been considered to ensure they appear are presentable but approachable, promoting a homely environment.
KYN commissioned leading British interior designer, Nina Campbell, and renowned art curator Adam Ellis, to create chic and authentic spaces that in turn give
residents a vital sense of belonging. With 86 private bedrooms, a cinema and a spa, KYN BICKLEY also offers spaces such as The Great Room and The Eden Room for residents to enjoy time hosting their own family members.
Everything has been designed with residents’ individual needs in mind. With innovative and advanced care-planning technology, such as the night-time acoustic
monitoring system, residents can sleep safely and soundly. Working alongside an expert nutritionist, the chefs at KYN BICKLEY have designed daily changing menus with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and satisfying flavours that are tailored to the
palates and nutritional needs of residents. Landscaped gardens, featuring a tranquillity garden, games lawn and fruit orchard, have been specially designed to offer a calming sensory experience for residents. Sensory planting is used to support residents
with dementia, as colour, touch, and scent can relax residents, as well as helping encourage sensory interaction to develop and improve the senses.
Caroline Naidoo, Managing Director of KYN said:
“KYN partners with specialist
consultants and organisations to
understand the very best practice in later life care and ways in which we can adopt this. We want to create an environment unique to each resident – ensuring every person feels at home, while also being able to provide bespoke care as needed. We firmly believe
that in de-stigmatising and disrupting
later life care, we can
help break down societal barriers around age and ageing.
“KYN’s model of care is built around recognising the importance and value of autonomy as well as meaningful relationships in a care home environment, and KYN
BICKLEY brings this to life in a beautiful setting.”
