The home will provide personal and nursing care 24 hours a day for people who are bedridden, very frail or have a medical condition or illness that means they need regular attention from a nurse.

The home will also offer respite care – short term care for those who have had a stay in hospital or to give their full time carers a break.

The home is being built on behalf of United Health Ltd (www.unitedhealth.co.uk) an organisation that has been providing a wide range of independent and supported care facilities for over fifteen years.

The facilities in Bourne will care for up to 88 patients and provide around 100 jobs for local people.

Building work is progressing well with the site on schedule for completion at the end of June 2010.

Philip Pearson, chief executive of United Health Ltd, said: “There is an increasing requirement for facilities such as these which is not currently met in the area. This new centre will provide independence for people in Bourne who need nursing care as well as peace of mind for their families.

“We placed the building contract with FE Peacock because of its established reputation for high quality workmanship and prompt completion of work.”

Karl Hick, managing director of FE Peacock, said: “This is an interesting and exciting project for us to work on. It has been great working with United Health and I look forward to doing so in the future.”

FE Peacock is part of the Larkfleet Group (www.larkfleetgroup.co.uk).
