GRAHAM has been awarded the contract to build a new residential care home in Enfield, London, through the Procure Partnerships Framework.
Led by Enfield Council, Reardon Court Extra Care Home will provide affordable housing for older people in an assisted living facility, allowing them to live independently with access to round-the-clock care. The home is being developed on the site of a former care home in Cosgrove Close, which was granted planning permission in 2021.
Comprising 70 units, Reardon Court will provide a range of communal spaces, including a library and hairdressing salon. Work on site is already underway, with completion expected in Q1 2024.
Andrius Jurevicius, contracts manager at GRAHAM, said: “We’re proud to be partnering with the London Borough of Enfield on this new care home, which will guarantee independence, safety, and comfort for local residents for years to come. We have a growing population of older people in the UK who deserve access to the same quality of life and independence at retirement age, which is why developments like these are important and needed.”
Cllr Alev Cazimoglu, Enfield Council’s cabinet member for health & social care, said: “I am delighted that the Council has come a step closer to delivering this inventive new scheme. The project will increase the supply of high quality housing for local people in our borough and ‘raise the bar’ regarding our offer to people who require extra support and care later in life.
“For some people, this project will provide an alternative option to residential care. For others, it is an opportunity to down-size to an accessible environment which is better suited to meeting their housing, care and support needs.”
