NorthStar, in conjunction with the Castlemeadow Group, has been selected as the preferred care provider and developer of a radical elderly health care vision for the town of Halesworth in Suffolk.

Working as the lead consultants alongside Halesworth Health and various voluntary and sporting groups, NorthStar will design and project manage the replacement of existing elderly healthcare provision to develop a rejuvenated care complex which will provide a sheltered housing scheme of 64 extra care apartments offering dementia care services, intermediate care, carer support initiatives, and an advice centre for people with life limiting conditions.

Danny Sharpe, Director at NorthStar, said: “After an eight month selection process working with Castle Meadow Care on the designs for this innovative concept, we are incredibly happy to have been selected to deliver this vision for the future of elderly healthcare in Halesworth.”

All bodies will be working together on a service delivery model in conjunction with local people, GPs and the current incumbent provider of health services at the PSH, East Coast Community Healthcare.

Design and planning has begun with construction expected to start in the summer of 2016.

NorthStar is a property development and project management company specialising in 5 star CQC compliant care home developments throughout the UK.
