Crystal Care Collection Marks Topping Out Ceremony With Hatton Parish Council
Crystal Care Collection marked a ceremonial topping out with Hatton Parish Council at their newest care home on Derby Road, named Dovebourne as an ode to the nearby River Dove.
Dovebourne will offer residential, dementia, and respite care for up to 66 older people in a purpose-built home.
Councillor John Clark, Councillor Anthony Ball, Councillor John Billings (Chair) joined Site Manager Levi Chambers to place the final few roof tiles on Dovebourne.
The Chair of the Parish Council, Councillor John Billings, said, “This is a great asset, and we are lucky to have such a facility in the village. With the creation of the care home and the landscaping, the top of Station Road will be greatly improved.”
Located on the site of the Salt Box Café, Dovebourne’s features will include:
- 66 en-suite bedrooms, complete with fitted furniture, smart TVs and mini fridges
- Newly designed Sky Bar to share a drink with friends and family
- Plush Cinema Room with popcorn machine to kick back with a movie
- Beauty Salon to indulge in regular hairdressing and pamper appointments
- Landscaped gardens and a Garden Room to relax or spend time on hobbies
The home will also feature a café, named ‘Salt Box Café’, as a nod to the well-known eatery, where members of the community will be regularly welcomed for home-made refreshments with residents.
Liz Walker, Managing Director at Crystal Care Collection, said, “Reaching this key milestone in construction is a proud moment for us all, and we’re so grateful to Hatton Parish Council for joining us to celebrate.
“But beyond the bricks and mortar, this project is about building a strong sense of community — a welcoming place where residents, families, and staff feel connected. We’re excited to see this vision come to life in Hatton and welcome residents in spring 2026.”
