Avery Healthcare‘s latest purpose-built care home Waterhouse Manor Care Home in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, has been completed and is awaiting Care Quality Commission approval to begin welcoming residents.

The 80-bedroom, three-storey home will provide residential, respite, and dementia care for older people, and includes suites for couples, a lounge, hair salon, café and therapy facility.

The building forms part of the Hampton Gardens development, which includes a convenience store, residential accommodation and a nursery.

Clegg Construction completed a £10.3 million contract to deliver the home, the third it has built by for Avery Healthcare. Clegg previously delivered Middleton Lodge Care Home in Littleover, Derbyshire, and Mousehold View Care Home in Norwich.

Other members of the project team included Harris Irwin Architects, project manager and quantity surveyor Holden and Lee, and mechanical and electrical engineer Harniss.

Avery Healthcare’s director of developments Adrian Doyle said: “Waterhouse Manor Care Home is part of an extensive development programme being undertaken by Avery Healthcare and we are proud that this is the latest in a number of new care homes that will be opening over the next year, with others in Sheringham, Burley in Wharfedale, Downham Market, Eastbourne and Gravesend all under construction.”
