Chartwell House Featured in Prestigious Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026
Boutique Care Homes is delighted to announce that Chartwell House in Broadstairs has been selected for inclusion in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026, a prestigious publication showcasing the UK’s top 100 best-in-class care homes.
The Knight Frank guide celebrates care homes that exemplify excellence in luxury settings, hospitality, and design. With over 200 submissions received from more than 60 operators, competition for inclusion was fierce.
Chartwell House, which opened in 2023, features modern facilities including a welcoming bistro, salon, sensory room, hobby spaces, and landscaped gardens. The home is ideally situated near Westwood Cross Shopping Centre and the picturesque Kent coastline, enabling residents to stay connected to their community.
Ameet Kotecha, Founder and Managing Director of Boutique Care Homes, said: “Being recognised in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026 is a tremendous honour and reflects the dedication of our entire team at Chartwell House. From the moment we opened our doors, our vision has been to create a home where residents don’t just receive care, they experience genuine warmth, belonging, and an enriching lifestyle. This recognition validates what we’ve always believed: that exceptional care and elegant surroundings can transform lives. I’m incredibly proud of what our team has achieved in such a short time.”
At the heart of Chartwell House is Boutique Care Homes’ award-winning Life Enrichment Programme, built around six principles of wellbeing: Contribute, Grow, Reflect, Feel, Move, and Connect. The programme offers diverse activities ranging from arts and crafts to intergenerational events with local schools, ensuring residents lead meaningful and active lives.
Boutique Care Homes has established itself as one of the UK’s most celebrated care providers, winning Care Home Group of the Year (Small) at the National Care Awards in both 2023 and 2025. Chartwell House achieved a ‘Good’ rating across all areas in its first CQC inspection and holds a perfect 10/10 rating on carehome.co.uk.
The Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026 will be published later this year and is available at www.knightfrank.co.uk/commercial/sectors/healthcare/care-home-awards.
