Work starts on multi-million-pound Cardiff care home

Work has now started to build a new multi-million-pound care home in Cardiff.

When complete, the new Care UK home, on Ty Draw Road, will provide full-time residential, nursing and specialist dementia care for up to 75 older people, and will create 84 new jobs. 

The home, which is expected to welcome the first residents in late summer 2023 will include facilities such as a cinema, café and hair salon. Secure and wheelchair friendly landscaped outdoor space will include sensory gardens, water features and seating to give residents the opportunity to spend quality time outdoors. 

Joshua Jones, Construction Project Manager for Care UK, said: “We are delighted that work has commenced at the new Cardiff site, not least because this impressive development reflects our commitment to improving the provision of residential care in the city. 

“At Care UK, we take great pride in the build quality, layout and design of each individual home, as these factors can greatly impact the everyday experiences of those living in a care environment. Our thoughtfully designed new care home will live up to these standards, and will provide a quality home for older people from Cardiff and beyond.”

Jon Folkes, Development Project Manager at Carter Lauren Construction, said: “Construction is off to a great start, and we are on track to complete the scheme by late summer 2023. As a developer of best-in-class care homes we’re thrilled to be working with Care UK on the brand-new Cardiff care home for the people of the city and the surrounding area. We’re already looking forward to reaching our next milestone in the coming months.” 

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.
