Works are underway to transform a derelict site in Linlithgow in West Lothian, Scotland into a mixed-use development including a care home.
The 1.6-acre site will be developed by Morrison Community Care Group and construction and manufacturing firm CCG (Scotland), to deliver a 60-bedroom, state-of-the-art care home and 18 two-bedroom apartments for private sale. Construction is set to be completed by the end of 2026.
Morrison Community Care Group MD Paul Sokhi said: “This new development represents a significant investment for the Linlithgow community which, like many across Scotland, has a shortfall of modern accommodation for its elderly population.
“Purpose-built to help address this growing demand by providing best-in-class residential, nursing, and dementia care services, the facility will offer valuable support to our NHS, and stimulate localised job creation with up to 100 roles available across a wide variety of disciplines.”
“Our care homes follow a well-considered blueprint that gives priority to the resident’s comfort. Alongside private en suite bedrooms, each resident will have access to dining facilities with meals cooked by professionally trained chefs, a hair salon, and a cinema, as well as tailored spaces that can be enjoyed privately with family members.
“The layout of the home itself is specially designed to manage infection control and mitigate the risk of any future pandemics, while an array of internal and external communal areas will help foster a sense of community for residents and staff alike.”
