Work on a £9.7 million care home in Enfield is now complete.

Morgan Sindall has built a new home for 70 older people living in residential care at Old Road, replacing the previous Coppice Wood Lodge and Bridge House facilities.

Features include 70 bedrooms, 17 communal rooms, a landscaped garden, hairdressing salon and a modern kitchen. It is equipped to the highest Care Quality Commission standards with assisted bathroom hoists, specialist bathing equipment, lifts and safe storage for medication.


In addition, the building has been fitted with personal and en-suite facilities in every room and increases nursing care capacity in Enfield, offering more accommodation than the previous homes.

The BREEAM 'Very Good' development has also achieved an Energy Performance Asset Rating B-classification.

Neil Franklin, area director for Morgan Sindall, said: "Real care and attention has gone into every detail of the design and delivery of this home to ensure residents enjoy an outstanding experience. We're delighted to have been a part of that process and to have delivered this fantastic development for Enfield Council.

"The new care home includes a number of great features that will ensure staff are able to offer residents first-class care and attention. While facilities like a hair salon and landscaped gardens will create a pleasant, stimulating and convenient environment for people living at the home."
