£12.6m Care Home Construction Gets Underway

Developer Urban Village Healthcare has started construction of a £12.6 million purpose-built care home with supported living facilities in the West Midlands.

Main contractor Sandycroft Construction has started work on site at the development at Randlay, in Telford, on behalf of the Birmingham-based developer, which is part of Urban Village Group.

The development of a 70-bed care home, with 12 specialist care apartments, has been approved by Telford and Wrekin Council and is expected to reach practical completion in January 2023.

Urban Village Healthcare is focused on improving care home provision to meet increasing demand for purpose-built care beds across the UK. It aims to develop and operate many senior care schemes in response to the growing demand requirements of the healthcare sector.

Urban Village Group chief executive Nick Sellman said: “It’s always exciting to see a development finally get underway and we are looking forward to delivering a high quality care home facility for the people of Telford.

“We have appointed Sandycroft Construction to deliver this excellent new development at Randlay in Telford.”

He added: “This new facility will provide the Telford community with a wonderful new specialist care scheme. Our highly experienced care delivery team is working hard to ensure our developments meet the highest standards. Our care homes have been carefully designed to ensure those who live there can enjoy an excellent quality of life and be part of an incredible community.”
