Ann’s Care Home, which operates 15 care homes across Northern Ireland, has submitted plans for Valley Care Home in Clogher.

The care home closed in January last year and Ann’s Care Homes purchased the building last December.

The new care facility will offer 36 en suite bedrooms, quiet sensory rooms, kitchen, dining, staff, nursing and visitor facilities within a footprint of 21,635 square feet.

Michael McQuade of Ann’s Care Homes said: “We are delighted to announce the expansion of Ann’s Care Homes with plans for a new and modern facility in Clogher. If approved, the care home would provide a state-of-the-art design and build whilst offering 36 residents the highest quality of care that we at Ann’s pride ourselves on delivering with integrity and consistency. The planning application has been developed and submitted to Mid Ulster District Council and, if successful, will provide a significant jobs boost in both the construction and care sectors.”

The home will create 100 jobs.
