Ravensbourne Rivers is a development currently in the pre-planning design phase. The site is approximately 27,500sqm and is in close proximity to Ravensbourne station backing onto Beckenham place gardens, with Ravensbourne Station just a two-minute walk from the site.
The design includes two retirement living units comprised of 1 and 2 bed apartments. All apartments have balconies that face into landscaped areas within the site in order to maintain privacy of neighbouring properties to the west of the site.
A dementia care facility is located closer to the site entrance and is designed to provide undercroft parking. A central cafe is also located in proximity to the retained footpath

The UK’s Fight Against Dementia
According to the NHS, new developments focusing on people living with dementia usually try to move them to a safe place. Dementia takes a huge toll on our health and care services, with the number of people with dementia expected to double in the next 30 years and predicted costs likely to treble to over £50 billion.
This often ends up with patients being sent to hospital and taking up considerable time in hospital beds. The NHS says: “This is not good for the patient, as hospital expertise and equipment is focused on resolving specific health issues, rather than necessarily the care needs of an elderly person living with dementia.
The UK Government plan to combat the rise in Dementia has highlighted the need to focus on producing suitable housing, in the form of Dementia villages, for those suffering with the disease.
