Grand View care home and Wigmore Place over 55’s apartment complex perfectly unite to become an inclusive care village

Project - Stamford Care Home

CHALLENGES

Grand View care home has been designed over multiple floors and to sit at one with the surrounding residential, retail and industrial areas. With its glorious glazed welcoming entrance, one would think it was a hotel rather than a care home. The facilities are on a par too, with a cinema room, hair salon and spa, various individual dining rooms and lounges, as well as The Welland Arms, a fully licenced bar and bistro; all perfect for social interaction and maintaining ones zest for life. Quiet lounges have been included so residents can be absorbed in moments of peace.

SOLUTIONS

The home has been designed with the latest thinking in care in mind. Nurses stations, assisted bathrooms and carefully selected fittings and colourways span the floors making it a safe and comforting place to live. The over 55’s and after care apartment complex complements the caring nature of the development, with 1 and 2 bedroom options available. Each is self-contained, with a living room, kitchen and bathroom/ensuite. Both the care home and the apartment complex have stairs and lifts for inclusivity for all. Being less than half a mile from the town centre, the location of the new care village is ideal. The local park, shops and good transport links have proven attractive to residents and staff alike.
