A landmark refurbishment project at Glen Lodge, an independent care community with extra care in Heworth, York, has been completed by Yorkshire and Lincolnshire construction firm Hobson & Porter.
The £3.2m, 15-month programme has transformed the older part of the property, which was originally built in the 1970s and consists of 32 assisted living apartments for older people.
Working on behalf of City of York Council, Hobson & Porter has delivered a complete modernisation programme, making the scheme more accessible, energy efficient and comfortable for residents.
The comprehensive refurbishment included the installation of brand-new kitchens and en suite bathrooms in every apartment, along with fully redecorated bedrooms and lounges.
Essential infrastructure upgrades were also completed, including a full rewire, new plumbing systems, and the installation of a new roof. Outside, residents can now enjoy improved landscaped gardens with new pathways and seating areas.
Senior site manager Dave McCorrie from Hobson & Porter said: “Glen Lodge needed a complete refurbishment to bring it in line with modern standards, and we are delighted to have delivered a project that will significantly improve the comfort and quality of life for its residents.
“As well as vital structural and mechanical works, we’ve created bright, accessible spaces that residents can really feel at home in.”
