A new 60-bed residential home equipped to care for people living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is being built in Burton Waters near Lincoln.
The Barchester Healthcare care home will open to residents early next year, offering 24-hour care and creating around 100 new jobs ranging from carers and nurses to hospitality staff and administrators.
The home will have a dedicated area called a Memory Lane Community, which will provide care for people with Dementia.
All residents will have their own ensuite bathrooms, meals and daily activities.
