Care UK has marked a construction milestone for Ladden View care home in Yate, near Bristol, with the help of the local mayor.
The Care UK team and representatives from Kori Construction were joined by the Mayor of Yate, Councillor Cheryl Kirby, and the Deputy Mayor of Yate, Councillor Ben Nutland, who placed the final roof tile on the roof of Ladden View, which is set to open next year.
The purpose-built care home – which is expected to welcome the first residents in autumn 2024 – will provide full-time residential and specialist dementia care, as well as short-term respite care, for up to 75 older people, with facilities including a cinema, hair salon, and café.
Angela Zuraw, regional director for Care UK, said: “As one of the most recent additions to an expanding portfolio of residential care homes, Ladden View, our second home in Bristol, highlights our dedication at Care UK to enhancing the provision of residential care in the region.
“As we get one step closer to opening the doors to locals, it was fantastic to welcome the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Yate and, once the home’s interior is complete, we can’t wait to give Councillor Cheryl Kirby and Councillor Ben Nutland the grand tour.”
Jordan Connachie, managing director at Kori, added: “When designed well, physical spaces have been shown to contribute to individuals living longer, more fulfilling lives. Ladden View is well on track to be able to offer this benefit to its future residents in Yate. The construction is going well, and we're confident that we'll be able to hand the reins over to Care UK's seasoned team next autumn.”
