Property developer Frontier Estates and care operator Barchester Healthcare’s scheme, Snowdrop Place in Botley near Southampton, has been shortlisted in the Best Architectural Design category in the Pinders Healthcare Design Awards 2022.
Both companies have worked closely together to develop and build the 60-bed care home, which opened in July 2021 and provides bespoke person-centred residential, dementia and respite care.
Resident wellbeing is at the heart of Snowdrop Place, which offers a café for socialising and enjoying freshly-baked treats, spa bathrooms, ensuite bedrooms with smart TVs, a choice of comfortable lounges, a dedicated activities room, cinema, and an in-house hair and beauty salon.
“Snowdrop Place is an exceptional home in a beautiful location that offers a superb quality of life for our residents…we are incredibly proud that it has been shortlisted for the Pinders design awards,” said Barchester Healthcare senior property development manager Grant Jensen.
“It was a fantastic project to work on with Frontier Estates, we couldn’t be happier with the finished result and neither could our residents, which is what really matters to us,” he added.
The Pinders Healthcare Design Awards recognise excellence in the long-term care and independent living sectors. This year, the categories have been updated to recognise the large teams involved in creating successful care spaces.
This year’s awards are planned to be held at the Royal Lancaster London Hotel in Paddington in March.
