Objective

To carry out extension works and internal refurbishment to Acorn Court Care Home in Redhill, Surrey whilst the property remained in occupation.

Acorn Court, run by award-winning Carebase, provides high quality nursing and dementia care. The team there were awarded a Gold Standard Framework accreditation of end of life care.

The works have provided the residents with a new spa and hair salon, library, comfortable lounges and new outdoor spaces to be enjoyed.

Solution

Mountjoy planned works to take place in several phases to minimise disruption to residents, carers and visitors.

Works began with the refurbishment of the entrance foyer, reception and visitor WC before moving onto the bistro.

The second phase was for the extension which now houses the hair salon, cinema, office, dining room and a day room. Once this was complete it allowed the older areas to be transformed and repurposed as offices and staff changing rooms.

New roof terraces and new garden and patio areas completed the project to provide residents with a warm, stimulating and engaging environment.
