Construction has begun on a £43 million care home on Manor Road in Woodford Bridge. Hallmark Luxury Care Homes says the 110-bed development is due to welcome its first residents in 2028 and is expected to create around 150 jobs once open.
The home will provide residential, dementia and nursing care. A wellbeing suite will include a hydrotherapy pool, gym and therapy room, with an on-site physiotherapy service. Hallmark says it expects the pool to be the first of its kind in a local care home.
Plans also include 15 furnished suites with their own living areas and kitchenettes, alongside a café, cinema and sensory garden. The grounds will include space for tai chi and seated outdoor exercise.
Hallmark marked the start of work with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by its chief executive, Nye Brown, and members of the project team. Kori Construction is building the home.
