Works started in October to extend One Sewardstone Place, an existing 20 bed brain injury unit.

Foundations have now been laid to facilitate a rapid construction program with completion targeted for the end of April 2018.

Carebase’s latest home in Chelmsford has opened its doors ready for the seasonal celebrations. The 66 bedroom home proudly replaces a hotel on the site, incorporating rebuilding of the original villa facade. The three storey home has been designed to accommodate differing user groups on each floor, creating full independent living, supplemented by classy traditional style interiors with a modern twist. Set within a conservation area, the home achieves a BREEAM very good rating.
