Ground broken on new Bingham care home

Ground has been officially broken on the construction of a new elderly care home in Bingham, Nottinghamshire, on a site which was formerly occupied by the local police station, after the project was granted permission by the Rushcliffe Borough Council.

Going into more detail, the new Bingham care home will accommodate 70 people and will include facilities such as a lounge, a hair and beauty salon, a cinema room, and a garden, with the commissioning company being identified as Charterpoint who, in turn, have appointed HC-One as the operating organisation.

The Director of Charterpoint, Giles Nursey stated: “Using sector specialist expertise, Charterpoint Senior Living spent considerable time and effort on creating a bespoke, attractive plan for a care home on this site, taking into account the views of neighbours, town and ward councillors, and with the knowledge that a previous application for a care home by another company had earlier been refused.

“We are delighted that Rushcliffe Borough Council gave its support to our scheme and that a professional, well-regarded care home operator like HC-One is to run the facility, once it has been built. The site has been vacant for some time, and this care home development will not only bring a brownfield plot back into use, it will also provide high-quality, bespoke care home facilities for the local community. We now look forward to seeing it come to fruition.”

The Chief Executive at HC-One, Justin Hutchens added: “HC-One is on a mission to be the first-choice care provider for older people and the employer of choice for the kindest and most professional care workers. We are therefore delighted to be working with Charterpoint Senior Living and Rushcliffe Borough Council to expand the reach of our high-quality care services in Bingham. New developments like this are crucial as they address the growing demand for care home places in this country.”

The development itself is not scheduled to reach completion until later in 2021.
