Signature Senior Lifestyle opens £14m care setting

Signature Senior Lifestyle has officially opened a £14m care home in Caversham, Berkshire.

Signature at Caversham offers 86 studio apartments, a café, cinema screen, Blades hair and nail salon and spa bathroom facilities, activities room, and communal garden. It worked in partnership with Beard Construction and PRP Architects to deliver the project.

Joining Signature’s 37 other care homes, the latest property will provide residential, nursing, dementia, and respite services.

‘Our care home’s design allows us to provide expert care to our residents, and to offer them a wide range of stimulating activities, supported by highly trained team members committed to delivering true peace of mind to residents, relatives and their loved ones,’ said Carmela Magbitang, general manager at Signature at Caversham.

Gary Millard, Beard Construction contracts manager, said: ‘The care sector is important to us, and our expertise means we can help clients to meet the increasing demand for the very best in assisted living spaces.’

Simon Atkins, associate director at PRP, added: ‘The care home offers a diverse choice of individual bedrooms and suites with a wide array of shared amenities, all set in a friendly and non-institutional setting. It demonstrates Signature’s continued commitment to resident focussed, industry leading care and we look forward to working with the team on future schemes.’

In 2021, Signature Senior Lifestyle acquired 20 Sunrise Senior Living UK and Gracewell Healthcare care homes.
