Clifton Moor Care Home - Care Suite

Clifton Moor Care Home is servicing a growing demand created by a necessity for high-quality nursing and dementia care facilities both locally and nationally.

The UK's average population is getting older and care for the elderly is already worth £14.5 Billion to the economy every year (AMA Research Ltd), the majority of which is funded by the government. Estimates from the Office of National Statistics (www.ons.gov.uk) suggest that 1 in 4 people will be aged 65+ by 2050, representing a 56.3% increase from 2012, and a total of 8 million people will be aged 80+ by the same year.

Future care home demand is expected to increase by approximately 40,000 new places by 2020. During this period, independent sector provision is expected to increase as demand forpublic sector places declines. (Source: AMA Care Home Construction Report 2013-2017, available on request)

The proposed site is bordered by Alma Street to the east and Elliot Street to the north. The southern boundary has an open aspect over former railway sidings and green space whilst the western boundary is adjacent to domestic gardens. The site was originally home to Dean's Reed Works, a factory making reeds and healds for looms in the local cotton mills.

The design for this new facility has been carefully considered and is a direct result of the detailed analysis of the site and its history. The design concept that has been pursued is that of a modern, thermally efficient care facility gathered around a central courtyard garden which is accessible from all parts of the building. All bedrooms have been carefully placed to ensure that residents have views of either the gardens or the green space to the south. No bedrooms look out onto surrounding streets.

All external faces of the building adjacent to Elliot Street and Alma Street are populated with public spaces rather than private rooms to ensure privacy for all residents. This also ensures that the courtyard garden becomes a peaceful and safe haven for both residents and staff.

The external appearance of the building is contemporary in style but picks up references from the buildings around the site in its use of brick and render, whilst the metal pitched roof is a reference to the industrial legacy of the site and the surrounding area

Clifton Moor's operation is to be overseen entirely by a specialist team of highly trained and experienced individuals with the single unified goal of creating the very best nursing and dementia care homes with secured funding from local authorities.
