Developed as part of Riversmead’s older people’s strategy, completion of this £7m high-quality development included a £3.5m grant from the Homes and Communities Agency and £600,000 from East Herts Council.

Hallways and rooms are large enough to accommodate wheelchairs, bathrooms are equipped with level access showers for ease of use and each floor is colour coordinated to aid orientation. The scheme also house’s a local doctor’s surgery, Wallace House Branch Surgery, which is open to both Calton Court residents and the wider community.
