Works starts on two care home schemes worth £11m
Stepnell has started work on site at two multimillion-pound care facilities.
Work on the £6.5m The Gables Care Home on Bennett Drive in Birmingham and a £4.3m refurbishment project at the Town Thorns Care Home in Rugby is underway.
The Gables development is a three-storey 57 bed care home, including four luxury care suites, two restaurants, a café and a hair, nail and beauty salon for its residents.
Due to be completed in August 2022 and designed by Harris Irwin Architects, the development is being brought forward by Cinnamon Care Collection.
Meanwhile, Stepnell’s Midlands team has started the long-awaited refurbishment project to the existing Town Thorns Care Home in the village of Easenhall.
The purpose built residential, nursing, dementia and respite care centre – originally built in the 1990s – is being renovated over four phases.
The refurbishment works at Town Thorns are being delivered for Ben, the charity dedicated to supporting the people of the automotive industry, but which also provides flexible, continuing care and support for those in later life.
Due to complete in December 2022, the refurbishment project will create an additional 44 en-suite rooms, a roof terrace garden, and replacement of mechanical and engineering (M&E) installations.
The project, designed by KWL Architects will also see minor remodelling of various communal areas, external landscaping works, roofing and window repairs. A new shop, bistro area, hair salon and a multifunctional hall space will also all be created.
