Alexandria Development To Be Renovated To Help People With Dementia

Construction News Image
A new council home development in Alexandria is to be renovated to help tenants with dementia safer.

The 22 homes at Creveul Court will include glazed doors in kitchen cupboards so the resident can clearly see what is kept inside, traditional hot and cold taps rather than mixers and contrasting colours used on doors and between walls and floors.

The flats will have lift access to upper floors, and each landing will have a different colour of flooring and tiling, with each floor clearly numbered for ease of recognition

There will be a communal gardens with sensory planting, sheltered spaces for gardening and relaxing. Front doors will face into the garden area and be a focus point for the community.

It is anticipated that the town centre location of the development will also benefit elderly tenants who will be able to access local services and public transport easily.

The housing development will be made up of 16 one and two bed flats, 5 terraced one bed bungalows and one wheelchair accessible bungalow with 3 bedrooms.

It is expected to be ready for tenants later this year.

Due to the specialist nature of the properties in this development, a different letting plan has been agreed.

This means the majority of the homes will be allocated to residents who are over 60 or have a specific medical need for the property.

Properties will be allocated to applicants who would benefit from and are most in need to this type of accommodation, including those with mobility or disability needs.
