WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL?

Retirement Villages is proposing an innovative, state-of-the-art nursing and care community. The extensive facilities we hope to build will not only provide a modern and stimulating environment for residents but also a social, training and healthcare hub for the rural communities surrounding Gradwell Park. We estimate that Gradwell Park could meet the needs of around 3,400 people aged over 65 in the dozen or so villages that form its rural hinterland. We are confident also of initiating new partnerships and of supporting existing services in the community.

Our proposals for this care village comprise:

55 one and two bed extra care units
30 bed nursing home
24 bed dementia unit offering both residential and nursing care
6 bed special nursing unit offering advanced care packages suitable, for example, for those suffering from brain injuries
a centre of excellence also used for training
central facilities ? hydrotherapy pool, gym, specially designed and equipped treatment rooms - open to the local rural community for rehabilitation, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and a range of treatments
a registered domiciliary care agency serving the local rural community
communal facilities including restaurant, lounge, multi-function areas, shop, hairdresser and snooker room
guest suite
outdoor games areas for croquet, boules etc
sensory gardens
