Report
The redevelopment of the old Sandybrook Hospital site encompassed three separate phases. Phases I and II were undertaken by the Health and Social Services Committee with the construction of the Residential Nursing Home and Day Care Centre, now complete. Phase III, the"sheltered housing" accommodation, was to be undertaken by the Housing Committee.
It is proposed to construct ten units of accommodation: two two-bedroomed units and eight one-bedroomed units with on-site parking. These flats have been designed to meet the needs of the frail elderly and disabled persons. It is intended that, in addition to the normal features, facilities will include a lift, although the building is only a two-storey development - ramps making all parts of the accommodation fully wheelchair accessible - with specially fitted bathrooms and kitchens to cater for the varied needs of disabled persons. Detailing includes a sophisticated door entry system; appropriate provision to fit people hoists, adjusted windowsill heights for chair-bound residents, bin bays that can be accessed by wheelchair users, etc.
The proximity of this site to the new Residential Nursing Home and Day Care Centre makes the provision of this "sheltered" accommodation ideal. Residents will be able to use the facilities of the Day Care Centre and Residential Nursing Home as required. This good neighbour policy works very well at The Limes in Green Street with the adjacent Housing Committee accommodation at Willows Court. Residents can use the dining and communal leisure facilities on the occasions that they feel lonely or unwell or are just looking for a change of scenery. The staff of the Residential Home/Day Care Centre, whilst not having any direct responsibility for the residents of the flats, who live independent lives, can keep an eye on them like any good neighbour.
The Housing Development Fund will be used to finance this project.
