Social enterprise United for All Ages (UfAA) and care home operator Millennium Care are working together on a £12m intergenerational development, which is hoped to be the first of its kind in the UK.
Set in 8.5 acres of land in a green belt area with more than 200 trees, the Worthington Lake Care Village in Wigan will offer continuity of care for older people, with a care home, dementia unit, a nursery, community hub and assisted living flats. The development should all be open by early 2020.
UfAA is advising on the development’s on-site nursery design, overseeing the build, setting up, staffing and the planning of integrated activities. The development will provide care and education for 174 ‘young and old’, with an on-site nursery catering for 70 children.
