Special guest celebrates ‘topping out’ at Yate’s multi-million-pound new care home

Yate’s newest care home, set to open next year, has marked its latest construction milestone with the help of a special guest. 

The Care UK team and representatives from Kori Construction, were joined by the Mayor of Yate, Councillor Cheryl Kirby, and the Deputy Mayor of Yate, Councillor Ben Nutland, who placed the final roof tile on the roof of Ladden View, on Fletcher Road.

The purpose-built care home – which is expected to welcome the first residents in autumn 2024 – will provide full-time residential and specialist dementia care, as well as short-term respite care, for up to 75 older people, with facilities including its own cinema, hair salon and café.

Angela Zuraw, Regional Director for Care UK, said: “As one of the most recent additions to an expanding portfolio of residential care homes, Ladden View, our second home in Bristol, highlights our dedication at Care UK to enhancing the provision of residential care in the region.

“As we get one step closer to opening the doors to locals, it was fantastic to welcome the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Yate and, once the home’s interior is complete, we can’t wait to give Councillor Cheryl Kirby and Councillor Ben Nutland the grand tour.”

Jordan Connachie, Managing Director at Kori, added: “When designed well, physical spaces have been shown to contribute to individuals living longer, more fulfilling lives. Ladden View is well on track to be able to offer this benefit to its future residents in Yate. The construction is going well, and we're confident that we'll be able to hand the reins over to Care UK's seasoned team next autumn.”

Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, the new Care UK home will incorporate space for hobby and leisure activities. The layout of the building will be configured into a series of individual suites, each having a dedicated lounge/dining room to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities.
