New-build dementia care village in Chester providing accommodation and specialist care and nursing support for more than 100 people.
Following the collapse of Pochin’s in the summer of 2019, Seddon were appoiinted via competitive tender to complete the works on the £21m project.
Benefitting from an excellent established relationship with Belong following our successful delivery of the Belong care village in Wigan, which opened in 2009, Belong Chester will provide accommodation and specialist dementia and nursing support for more than 100 people.
There are 24-hour support across six extended family-sized households. The village also includes 23 independent living apartments, which are available to buy or rent.
Designed by Altrincham-based Pozzoni Architecture, the village hub building has a range of facilities, including a bistro, hair salon, exercise studio and function rooms.
Working in collaboration with the existing Project Manager from Pochin who had an established and effective working relationship with Belong, our delivery team supported efficient project deliverables whilst implementing high qaulity standards.
Another challenge of the scheme was that it was located on Queen’s Avenue near to the Shropshire Union Main Line Canal. Works involve the landscaping of surrounding areas, including the canal-side conservation area, for local residents.
