UP to 50 new jobs are being created at a new care home between Malvern and Ledbury.
Rotherwood Group has been given planning permission to build a new 60-bed care home in Colwall.
The building will be located on a Brownfield site in Primeswell Close off Walwyn Road and will provide 60 residential and nursing beds to support the demand for care in the region with its ageing population, while creating approximately 50 jobs in the local area.
Work on the build is due to start by early 2023 with the view to opening in Spring 2024.
The build is funded through Target Healthcare and will be constructed by LNC Property Developments.
Designed by Lawrence and Finley Architects, the home will offer state-of-art facilities whilst its architectural features will echo that of Rotherwood’s other purpose-built care home, Roden Hall, in Shropshire.
Kristian Lawrence, the architect from Lawrence and Finley Architects, commented: "From the outset, Rotherwood’s brief was to design a care home which would enhance the lives of residents living within, whilst also respecting the surrounding area and retaining the views of the Malvern Hills.
"The home will house top-class amenities including an at-home bar and cinema room and maximise views of the open countryside. We look forward to seeing the build progress."
Rotherwood Healthcare is an award-winning care home group which operates luxury care homes across Herefordshire, Shropshire, and Worcestershire.

"This will be our ninth care home in the group and will broaden our long-term impact enriching the lives of older people across the West Midlands."
Award-winning Rotherwood Healthcare already operates five luxury care homes across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
The home in Colwall will provide Residential and Nursing Care for older people.
