Hide AdRussell Jewell, CEO at Untold Living, said: “This is a transformational opportunity for Crawley to breathe new life into a long-disused site and provide much-needed accommodation for local elderly people.
“Many thousands of older people are living in accommodation that is wholly unsuited to their needs, which poses a very real risk to their mental and physical wellbeing.
“The Untold Living scheme in Crawley will not only provide round-the-clock care and support to residents, but also help to tackle numerous chronic issues affecting older people that have been linked to cognitive decline, in particular isolation and loneliness.”
Subject to planning permission, the new village will deliver 105 new extra care apartments, 10 bungalows, expansive green space and amenities including a new café and restaurant, as well as up to 50 new jobs.
