Enhancing Protection at Porthaven Care Home

Latest News / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

Porthaven Care Homes recently completed the opening of its latest addition, Cavell Park Care Home, located in Maidstone, Kent, with additional protection and community feel from Jacksons Fencing. This marks another significant addition to their growing portfolio of 18 purpose-built care homes, each designed with a person-centred approach. Located near the historic town of Maidstone, Cavell Park Care Home provides a peaceful and secure environment for up to 80 residents. The care home offers a wide range of services – all within a setting that combines safety, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Elevating security standards To ensure the safety of residents while also maintaining an inviting atmosphere, Jacksons Fencing was chosen to install a combination of black metal bow top railings and matching gates at varying heights around the care home. The 1.8-metre-high bow top railings surround the gardens where residents enjoy much of their leisure time, while 1.2 metre high fencing was installed around the car park and entrance. First impressions matter The design of the bow top railings features rounded pales, posts, and curved hoop tops which score highly for both safety and aesthetics, creating a secure and inviting environment while minimising injury risk. Additionally, the railings are built with welded pale-through-rail construction and tamper proof panel-to-post connectors, ensuring that the fencing is resistant to vandalism or break-in attempts. Made from galvanised tubular steel, these railings are strong and weather-resistant. The polyester powder coating ensures a sleek, durable finish that won’t crack or peel, offering long-lasting protection against wear and tear. This combination makes the railings both visually appealing and a sustainable investment. The design of the railings complements the home’s contemporary architecture and seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscaped gardens, creating a harmonious and secure environment for residents. Each railing installation is backed by a 25-year Service Life Guarantee from Jacksons Fencing, providing long term peace of mind that the fencing will continue to deliver security and aesthetic value for years to come. A sense of safety and autonomy Located adjacently to the reception entrance, the garden’s visibility offers visitors and prospective residents’ immediate assurance that their loved ones are in a safe and welcoming space. The vertical pale design of the fence ensures high visibility, which not only improves supervision but also enhances the autonomy of residents by making them feel connected to the outside world. The advanced keypad entry system at the entrance further enhances security, not allowing unauthorised access, while maintaining ease of entry for staff and residents. Reflecting on the success of the project, Peter Jackson, Managing Director at Jacksons Fencing, commented, “The installation of our bow top fencing and gates has not only provided Cavell Park Care Home with a secure and well-defined perimeter but also ensured exceptional durability. Jacksons Fencing’s products are designed to withstand the test of time, offering long-term protection while retaining an attractive finish. “A care home is more than just a building – it’s a community where safety, comfort, and a sense of belonging are paramount,” continued Peter. “We’re proud to have played a role in bringing this vision to life and blending robust security with sleek design.” Read more exclusives and news in our latest issue here.
