Hallmark Care Homes has conducted a topping out ceremony for its new 80-bed care home in Bath, Somerset.
Midford Manor care home, which is scheduled to open its doors to residents this autumn, is being built on a 1.6-acre site by Hallmark’s sister company Savista Developments at a cost of £16m. The home will provide residential, nursing and dementia care, and will create 100 jobs locally.
For the ceremony to mark the next stage of the build, the site’s construction team were joined by Hallmark chair Avnish Goyal, Wera Hobhouse MP, and the Mayor of Bath Councillor June Player.
When completed, the home will include a café, cinema, hairdressing salon, and therapy room. In addition, 15 suites will each include a fully fitted kitchenette, dining area, lounge, and ensuite bathroom.
Residents will also be able to access a wellness room which will support residents to build up strength and keep fit, a specialist dementia community incorporating the latest technology, and outdoor spaces such as terraces, a roof garden, and garden bar.
Avnish Goyal said: “Midford Manor Care Home will provide residents with a place where they feel safe and supported to live an active and fulfilled life. Our caring and dedicated teams, will be provided with on-going training and support and much thought and consideration has gone into the design of this beautiful new home.”
Bath MP Wera Hobhouse added: “It was a real pleasure to join the Hallmark Care Homes team celebrating a new milestone at Midford Manor in Odd Down. Hallmark Care Homes’ promises to bring a lot of caring expertise to Bath especially in dementia care. It is obvious how much thought has gone into the planning and building of the new facility and I am looking forward to seeing it open later in the year."
