Hencote Continuing Care Community Shrewsbury

21/02/2022

We want to provide people in Shrewsbury and Shropshire with a choice in where and how they spend their later years. We also want to meet a need which is not currently being met.

Shropshire boasts a high level of home ownership, and many residents can afford to make this choice if only suitable accommodation were available. As things stand, people from all parts of society are being denied this opportunity through lack of provision.

Hencote Continuing Care Community will address this lack of choice, meet a clear need and help take the pressure off social care, the NHS and public services by enabling those who can do so to afford their own care.

Currently there are over 50,000 people over the age of 75 in the Shropshire Council area. Shropshire has a higher proportion of elderly people and a higher proportion in need of care than the national average.

The Hencote Continuing Care Community will help meet the significant need and at no cost to Shropshire Council.

We think it’s important that people living in Shrewsbury have a choice about where they would like to live as they get older.

We want to create a community that will help the county tackle a looming crisis in care for the elderly and develop a new model of social care for Shropshire – giving our growing elderly population a genuine choice over where they spend their later years.

Our proposed new care community would create more than 150 jobs and could establish Shropshire as a national trailblazer in social care.
The Shropshire Star has today reported on our plans for extra care and close care apartments and bungalows, as well as a 75 bed nursing home with a specialist dementia unit.

A new £75million care community would create more than 150 jobs and could establish Shropshire as a national trailblazer in social care, according to the man behind the plans.
