Plans to build state-of-the-art dementia centres in Staffordshire granted green light
Plans to build two new state-of-the-art dementia centres in Staffordshire have been approved.
The multi-million pound flagship centres will be developed in partnership between Staffordshire County Council and Symphony, a consortium made up of the Accord Group, Keepmoat and Quattro Architects.
The facilities will be built in Lichfield and Burton and promise to transform care and support for residents and their families throughout their condition.
The projects will create a home-like environment where residents will be able to hold family gatherings, keep pets and have access to communal areas and facilities such as a café.
Bosses at the council at Symphony have now signed a contract to develop the centres, which are expected to open in 2017.
Locations for the new centres still have to be finalised.
