During construction, the contractor reported social value equivalent to 20 per cent of the build cost and achieved a full 45\/45 score under the Considerate Constructors Scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The development has also been nominated for a national award.<\/p>\n<p>Eleanor Deeley, joint managing director at Deeley Group said: \u201cThis development marks another milestone in our long-term partnership with Exemplar Health Care as together we continue to deliver high-quality specialist care environments for adults with complex needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the planning stage through to construction and completion, we have worked collaboratively with the diocese and Coventry City Council to ensure that we are creating a home that meets the needs of future residents but also respects the heritage of the site. We look forward to returning to Birch View in the coming months to welcome its first residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following completion, Exemplar Health Care is finalising the internal fit-out ahead of the home opening in the spring. The facility will include dedicated care areas, dining and lounge spaces, quiet rooms, a therapy room and meeting areas for visiting families, alongside a sensory garden.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Giles, property and developments director at Exemplar Health Care said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to see Birch View reach this important milestone and to continue our strong partnership with Deeley Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new home will provide a welcoming, supportive environment where adults living with complex needs can receive high-quality, person-centred care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery aspect of Birch View has been thoughtfully designed to promote independence, dignity and wellbeing, from the specialist care facilities to the therapeutic and social spaces. We\u2019re particularly pleased to be bringing this much-needed service to the Coventry community and to transform a previously unused site into a place that will make a real difference to people\u2019s lives. We look forward to opening our doors and welcoming our first residents and their families in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 38-bed facility for adults
