The £9 million development will be built on the former Berryfield House hospital site, just off Bath Road, and will comprise of a 63 bed elderly nursing home and 14 two bedroom assisted living units. The home will provide nursing and dementia care for residents and will be operated by Porthaven Care Homes. It will also provide services to residents in the assisted living units, which Castlemead will develop for retirement housing specialists, Beechcroft. Castlemead Business Development Director, Tony Cole, said that he was delighted to be able to commence work on this much needed new facility: “There is already shortage of beds available for those suffering with dementia, and with over one million additional people expected to be diagnosed by 2051, it is more important than ever that these facilities are made available in areas such as Bradford On Avon. “Our integrated offering and high quality design ensures that all our facilities are ‘future proofed’ and adaptable to the different types of care needed in the area. This approach not only secured support with our funders but the planning officers as well.” Construction will commence in May with completion in the summer of 2013. The development forms part of an extensive programme of new build care facilities by Castlemead across the UK.
