A major milestone has been reached on a £9.7 million care home project in Enfield.

Morgan Sindall has held a topping out ceremony as it reached the highest point of its elderly home development on Old Road.

The project will replace two existing cares homes and will feature 70 bedrooms, en-suite facilities, 17 community rooms, a landscaped garden, a hairdressing salon and a modern kitchen.


Other features include regulation standard hoists, various aids, lifts and safe storage for medication.

Neil Franklin, area director for Morgan Sindall, said: "We're very pleased to be taking part in this ceremony which celebrates a key milestone in the construction of Enfield Council Care Home. We are incredibly proud to be delivering this development that will enhance the comfort and wellbeing of 70 older people in the area."

The project is due to be completed in November.
