Construction of a new luxury care home in Templehill, Troon, has been completed and the facility will now be prepared for welcoming its first residents later this month.
Queens View Harbour Luxury Suites is the latest care home to have been completed by Morrison Community Care Group (MCCG), one of Scotland's leading private care developers, and Glasgow-based contractor, CCG (Scotland).
Designed by Holmes Miller Architects, the development was recently sold to a recognised care provider earlier in the summer and is set to deliver an un-rivalled living experience for the elderly providing in-house, 24/7 nursing provision that is complemented with specialist dementia care services and luxury residential amenities.
Upon entry, residents and guests are immediately met with a luxuriously styled main reception complete with a champagne bar, private dining area and a hair salon with the remainder of the ground floor complete with a cinema, high-specification cooking facilities, laundry services and office space for managerial staff.
Each of the upper floors contains private en-suite bedrooms – 56 in total – with some offering stunning, sea-facing views towards the Firth of Clyde. A dining room is located on each floor alongside nursing facilities and private family rooms.
Externally, residents can enjoy communal balcony space overlooking the development's private gardens and putting green.
Paul Sokhi, Managing Director of Morrison Community Care Group, said: "As one of Scotland's foremost developers of 24/7 residential, nursing and dementia care services, I am delighted to bring the 'MCCG Standard' to Troon with Queens View Harbour Luxury Suites. Working with our partners CCG and Holmes Miller, we design care homes from the ground up to deliver unmatched levels of quality and comfort with the opening of this care home being another major milestone in our burgeoning partnership. I am thoroughly delighted with the end result and I am sure the future residents will be in agreement."
CCG Managing Director, David Wylie, said: "This new development is a stunning example of private, residential care and will be a valued addition to Troon and the wider Ayrshire community. The quality that is seen throughout is evident but it is not unique; the MCCG Standard has been utilised to support the delivery of modern, elderly accommodation in Scotland since 2016 and it is one that we will continue deliver for many years to come in the support of our country's growing ageing population. We extend our thanks to all of the project partners and wish the residents well as they settle into their new home."
