A MULTI-MILLION pound project to revolutionise care for over-60s is nearing completion.
The Hazelmere extra care ‘village’ at Hambleton Way, Winsford, will provide 106 one and two-bedroom apartments for retired people, as well as restaurants, shops, landscaped gardens and a library and IT suite.
The scheme is a part of a council drive to meet the demands of an ageing population. By 2031, it is expected about 26% of Cheshire’s population will be aged over 65.
A county council spokeswoman said Hazelmere will open in mid-June.
Other facilities will include a café, hair and beauty salon, fitness suite, hobby and craft rooms and a ‘village hall’.
Developers Avantage will also provide 24-hour security features.
Similar facilities will open in Middlewich and Ellesmere Port next month, and in Crewe in August.
The scheme will cost Avantage £65m.
A quarter of the Winsford apartments are already reserved, with residents able to buy or rent.
To enquire about buying or renting an apartment at Hazelmere, call 0845 618 5008 or email mychoice@avantage. co.uk.
