Work gets under way today heralding the start of construction at Antonine House Care Home being built on Roman Road, a purpose built 82-bed facility providing care

 

for people with general nursing needs including those with dementia and its related conditions.

 

Set to be completed in December 2012, the state-of-the-art complex will create 120 of posts for nurses, care assistants, hotel services staff, administrators and managers.

 

Rooms within the luxury home will far exceed national care standards and residents will have access to a wide range of leisure activities. Residents can also expect a fine dining experience in their luxury restaurant.

 

The design of the building has already received praise from planners as blending contemporary features in a traditional form that works well with the surrounding neighbourhood.

 

Gerry Hennessey, Managing Director of Meallmore Ltd, said: “It is exciting to see this project come to fruition. We have spent a long time designing the home so that our residents have the best facilities available.

 

We have learned through our experience of operating other care homes over the last 25 years that it is the attention to detail that makes the difference. The aim is to make the home as comfortable as possible and to

 

give residents as much independence as they want.”

 

Meallmore now have 19 homes for elderly and frail people in Scotland including Parklands in Alloa which is due to accept its first resident in the next few days.
