Hallmark Care Homes has acquired a 1.79 acre site in Cardiff to develop a new 80-bed, residential, nursing, and dementia care home.
According to hallmark, the £28m project on Cypress Drive will provide an ‘exceptional, high-quality care home for older people including state of the art amenities’. It will ‘draw on the latest technology in the sector and will comprise an array of extensive communal facilities’. In June, Hallmark will be inviting the local community to give feedback on proposals for development, ahead of the submission of a planning application.
The Essex-based care provider currently operates 19 homes, six of which are based in Wales, and will be responsible for the planning, design, and interior of the new build. The family-run business also has plans to open two new homes this year in West Sussex and Somerset.
Hallmark Care Homes MD Aneurin Brown said: “We are very pleased to acquire this site in Cardiff to meet the growing demand for specialist care in the area. Our proposed development will provide a beautiful and supportive environment for local people to thrive, utilising our 26 years of care experience. We’ll deliver much-needed care beds to the community as well as modern facilities and communal spaces which will enable residents to socialise with their family and friends.”
