Care and communal facilities are arranged through a central ‘street’ that leads to 3 clusters of sleeping accommodation. This layout has been designed to minimise long corridors and the resulting institutional effect they have as well as enabling ‘lockdown’ of houses to ease the management of infection control in response to the pandemic. The aim is to provide 100 extra-care apartments with high quality communal brasseries, salons and health suites which will sit alongside a 54-bed elderly and dementia care home. On-site staff training and accommodation facilities will also create to bring highly qualified care staff into the care profession.
