Building work completed on new Oswestry care home

A KEY milestone has been reached on a new state-of-the-art luxury 80-bedroom care home in Oswestry, Shropshire.

Operator HC-One held a topping out ceremony to mark the completion of the structure of its new care home, which will be named Bluebell View, and is due to open this winter.

“We are delighted to be marking this key stage of the development,” said HC-One managing director Geoff Edwards.

“We strive to be the first-choice care provider for residents and colleagues in every community we serve.

“As the first HC-One home in the Oswestry area we are very much looking forward to opening the doors of Bluebell View and working with more talented colleagues to provide the kindest possible care to elderly people in the community in our new welcoming, state-of-the-art home.”

The main contractor responsible for delivery of this project is Greenchurch Developments, who are based in Mansfield, North Nottinghamshire.

HC-One has worked closely with Greenchurch Developments throughout the construction process to ensure delivery of a home which is befitting of HC-One’s standards.

The new purpose-built three-storey home will feature residents’ lounges, relaxing reading rooms and a cosy reception and bar area, along with private gardens with courtyards.

Artist Richard Briggs has also been commissioned to create paintings celebrating local landmarks and culture which will hang within the reception and communal areas to make residents and visitors feel at home.
