High spec care facility completed
Stepnell has finished a new, high specification care facility in High Wycombe for the charity Royal Star & Garter, which provides loving, compassionate care to veterans and their partners living with disability or dementia. The £25 million scheme offers award-winning nursing, dementia and therapeutic care in a welcoming and stimulating environment for the ex-service community and their partners. Stepnell’s Wantage team worked with
Scurr Architects across an 83-week programme to create the four-storey facility that has already secured a prestigious BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating. The development provides accommodation for 74 residents, including purpose-designed dementia care for 30 service users, alongside contemporary communal facilities such as a large dining room, lounge, physiotherapy room, bar, hair salon and activity and training rooms. Rob Speirs, regional director at Stepnell, says: “We are really proud of the completed
project and have thoroughly enjoyed working closely with such an amazing charity. Being able to create a comfortable space where veterans can benefit from the high-quality care they deserve has been incredibly rewarding for the Stepnell team and something we hope to do again in the future.”
