Construction work has begun on a 77-bed care home in Banstead, Surrey, which will be leased by award winning care provider, Hallmark Care Homes.
The new home, which will provide residential and dementia care, is being built at a cost of £8 million across a one acre site by contractor Lawrence Baker and will be the care group’s first lease deal. To officially mark the start of the build, the construction team was joined by Hallmark Care Homes managing director Avnish Goyal, local Mayor, Councillor Roger Newstead and Adrian Ball from Hardwood UK Developments.
The home will provide a spacious, luxurious and sociable environment where family members will be encouraged to spend time with their loved ones and participate in activities. Facilities at the home will include: a state of the art cinema, luxurious hairdressers, therapy room and café. Each bedroom will have an en-suite bathroom and most of those on the ground floor will have access to their own patio.
Other communal areas will include: an interactive kitchen where residents can assist in the preparation of meals and landscaped gardens designed by award-winning landscape architect, David Fountain.
Managing director of Hallmark Care Homes, Avnish Goyal, says: “We are really excited to be opening a brand new care home in Banstead and look forward to providing high quality relationship centred care to the community.
“Our new home will provide residents with a place where they feel safe and supported to live an active and fulfilled life.”
The new care home is scheduled to open its doors to its first residents in spring 2019. The facility will be the Essex-based care group’s 18th care home.
