Hospice sees new nursing home as model for future of specialist care
Herald Express
|July 02, 2025
THE Government has been urged to fund a “vision of the future” project designed to radically improve specialist care for the elderly and those suffering with dementia.
Rowcroft Hospice in Torquay says a new model of care provided by its proposed Lavender Square nursing home development could become a template for a new national model for social care.
Lavender Square is planned to become an Al-enabled dementia and complex nursing home designed to cater to the rapidly growing demand for specialist care in Devon - one of the areas with the highest proportion of over-85s in the country.
All profits generated from the development will be reinvested into further dementia and palliative care services across Devon.
