Provision of a much needed residential care home, helping to tackle the shortage of care beds in the UK and in this area.
Morrison Community Care Group would seek to deliver the following opportunities and public benefits from the development:
- Inclusion – members of the public will be able to use some facilities at the Care Home to help residents feel part of their local community.
- Facilities – hair & beauty salon, Cinema, Cafe, Meeting rooms.
- Links with local groups to offer use of the facilities and at times this can in return involve them providing a service to the Care Home such as entertainment or activities.
- Opportunities for further employment and volunteering opportunities.
- Work with local schools and nurseries; providing placements for senior schools and activities with nurseries when they visit such as arts & crafts and music sessions.
- Links with Universities to provide student placements for nurses and occupational therapy students which often leads to employment for students to run alongside their studies.
FURTHER BENEFITS:
- Improve care-home choice and availability within Andover.
- High quality landscaped grounds for new residents to enjoy.
- Retention of the majority of on-site trees, alongside new tree planting to areas of open space.
- A Net Zero and sustainable approach, from design to build.
