The nursing home will be located on the grounds of Churchtown Lodge while the respite care facility will occupy Churchtown Lodge itself.
Construction will begin in the spring of next year and the development is due to be completed in 2024. It is expected that up to forty full-time medical and support staff will be employed when the facility opens.
