Act now to have a say on care home plans
SONNING: A public consultation is being held over proposals to develop an 80unit care home in Sonning, writes Jade Kidd.
The plans by Savista Developments and Hallmark Care Homes look to deliver the care home on land in Pound Lane.
The proposals look to provide an 80-suite care home for those with dementia, featuring communal and staff facilities and ancillary accommodation.
According to the consultation, the scheme will ‘help meet the challenge of providing care for elderly people in the UK’, aid with the need locally for ‘high quality care homes’, and ‘improve options’ for elderly care.
Amenities include a cinema, a restaurant and café, a lounge bar, hair salon, therapy/spa rooms, clinical rooms, family and quiet rooms, an art studio, display area and facilities for team members.
A floor plan of the proposals reveals that the basement will feature 32 car parking spaces, as well a kitchen and laundry room.
The reception will be based on the ground floor alongside
living space and access to the communal lounge, gym, café and hydrotherapy.
The second floor, which has been reduced in size to ‘lessen the impact’ on neighbours, will feature living space for the care home residents.
The first floor would feature living space for those staying
at the care home, as well as communal areas for the residents.
A planning application has not yet been submitted.
Responses to the public consultation are required by tomorrow (Friday).
