Worcestershire care home given green light to double capacity

The owners of Hopwood Court care home in Worcestershire have been granted permission to expand its capacity from 20 beds to 48.

Bromsgrove District Council approved plans for single storey, first floor and two-storey extensions.

The expanded site is set to include three additional communal living/dining rooms, a laundry room, and an enclosed landscaped garden.

All new bedrooms will have ensuite facilities and car parking provision would increase from ten spaces to 30.

The plans are set double the number of staff from 12 full-time/20 part-time staff to 24 full-time and 40 part-time.

“As we look to the future, we understand that the needs of our residents will be vastly different from what we offer currently,” said Hopwood Court director Michelle Birchill.

“People living in care should not have to share bedrooms or facilities such as bathrooms and toilets,” she added.

“We need to bring Hopwood court into the 21st century to allow us to offer the home form home service we pride ourselves on today.”
