Liberty Care Developments has submitted plans for a new 76-bedroom care home on Marston Road in Frome.
All of the bedrooms will feature en-suite wet room facilities and the home will provide 24-hour nursing and specialist dementia care for elderly people with a range of complex needs.
The care home will also include communal gardens and a sensory garden in addition to a hair salon, activities room and visitor lounge.
Ashley Heath, director at Liberty Care Developments said: “Having worked through a detailed pre-application process with Somerset Council we are delighted the application has now been submitted. The design has been carefully considered and will offer a best in class care facility for the benefit of Frome residents.”
Adam Price, planning consultant at JLL, which advised Liberty Care Developments on the application, added: “The proposal is a logical and sustainable step, providing much needed quality care home provision within Frome which currently offers a very limited modern stock. As demands on care including for elderly people and those with dementia rises, purpose built developments which provide a quality care service continue to increase. This is an important residential product in addressing the wide range of needs across Frome’s population.”
The project team also included CSquared Architects and Cameron Rose Associates.
