A key milestone has been reached on a new 70-bed care home being developed in Nottinghamshire.
A topping out ceremony has been held to mark the completion of the structure of the care home which has been constructed in Bingham.
The care home - which will be named Fosse Way View - has been built on the site of the former police station in Grantham Road and is due to be opened next summer. It will be run by care home operator HC-One.
Adrian Goose, chief executive of care home developer Charterpoint, said: "We are extremely pleased with the progress that has been made on this Charterpoint Senior Living development, especially given the circumstances and challenges that this year has brought.
"This scheme will offer first-class, modern care facilities in an excellent location, providing specialist care in the local community. We are delighted to have now reached the topping out stage of Fosse Way View and look forward to the next stage of the development."
The care home will feature residents' lounges, a hair and beauty salon, a cinema room and other extensive communal facilities, along with residents' gardens.
The new care home will be HC-One's second facility in Bingham; it already runs Beauvale in Moor Lane.
Richard Smith, director of design and construction at HC-One, said: "We are delighted to be marking this key stage of the development of Fosse Way View Care Home.
"At HC-One, we strive to be the first-choice care provider for residents and colleagues in every community we serve. We are very much looking forward to opening the home next year and working with more talented colleagues in the local area to provide the kindest possible care to more elderly people in a welcoming and state-of-the-art home."
A fund managed by TIME Investments, part of the Alpha Real Capital Group, has acquired the investment from Charterpoint.
James Murray at Alpha Real Capital said: "Given the challenging year, it's great to see how much progress the team have made on the building.
"The asset once complete, will provide best in class care to the local area and be an important addition to the social assets managed by the group."
