Topping out ceremony held for latest Caring Homes development

The final tiles have been secured on the roof of a Caring Homes’ luxury care home in Woking, Surrey.

Horsell Lodge, a purpose-built care and nursing home for 70 older people, is due to open in the summer of 2019.

The final roof tile was fitted by Adam Wilkins, Operations Director for Caring Homes and Kevin Coleman, Construction Manager for Caring Homes, in the presence of managers and colleagues from contractor, MP Brothers.

Adam said: “It is very exciting for everyone involved that we have reached this milestone at Horsell Lodge. We will now all be working hard to get the home fitted out inside and recruit staff ready to welcome our first residents next year.”

The home will feature spacious communal areas including a cinema, hair salon, bistro and restaurant, with private dining facilities and several lounges and quiet rooms.

Constructed on the site of the former Horsell Lodge, which closed in 2017, the home will be surrounded by landscaped gardens. Several rooms on the lower ground floor will have access to the gardens from their private patio.
