A planning application has been submitted to Herefordshire Council for the construction of a new 70-bedroom care home on the outskirts of Ross-on-Wye. The proposed development, submitted by Prime (UK) Developments Limited, aims to provide high-quality residential, nursing, and dementia care in a modern, purpose-built facility designed to meet the needs of elderly residents.
Key Features of the Proposal:
- Residential Care Home: The facility will be classified under Use Class C2 and will include specialist care services.
- Modern Amenities: Residents will have access to a range of communal and private spaces, including a café, a cinema/bar, a hair salon, comfortable lounges, and spacious dining areas.
- En-Suite Bedrooms: Each resident will have a private, en-suite bedroom designed for comfort and accessibility.
- Outdoor Spaces: Landscaped gardens will provide semi-private and communal outdoor areas, offering a peaceful and therapeutic setting for residents to enjoy.
- On-Site Parking & Accessibility: The development will include dedicated parking and carefully planned access arrangements to ensure ease of movement for visitors and staff.
The project aims to enhance local care provisions by delivering a well-equipped, comfortable, and modern environment for elderly individuals requiring specialist support. The home will offer a balance of independence and care, ensuring that residents can enjoy a high quality of life while receiving the necessary medical and personal assistance.
Beyond the benefits for future residents, the care home is also expected to create significant employment opportunities for local people, contributing to the regional economy.
