A New Era of Enhanced Care
At Archer Villages & Care Homes, the Board have announced a significant and positive evolution in our commitment to providing exceptional care and vibrant communities for our residents.
We are embarking on an exciting journey to consolidate our care home offerings into a single and central clinical hub at Archer Beckenham.
This strategic move is designed to continue to provide a continuum of care, foster greater community inclusiveness, and ensure a sustainable future for the entire Archer group.
This consolidation means that all Rest Home, Hospital, and Dementia care services will now be housed under one roof at our Archer Beckenham care facility.
This creates a truly integrated clinical hub, allowing for seamless transitions between care levels and even more coordinated, comprehensive support for our residents.
We are particularly excited to share that this expansion will lead to a significant increase in the number of dementia beds available at our new clinical hub, enhancing our capacity to serve those with memory care needs.
Residents from any Archer Village will continue to receive priority entry to our care facility, ensuring peace of mind and continuity of care as their health needs change.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
33.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
65.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
