Building Futures

Almond Valley Care Home, Livingston

Almond Valley Care Home is the latest development delivered by Morrison Community Care (CCG) Holdco and is located in Livingston, West Lothian.

Situated in Almondside, the 0.3ha site was formerly home to a nightclub before laying derelict for several years. Bound by retail premises to the west, Almondvale Park to the north, and immediately south of the town’s major retail hub, The Centre, at first glance, the site wouldn’t, perhaps shouldn’t, be suitable for a care home. However, led by MCCG Holdco’s expert internal design services, the land is now transformed and helping serve localised need and demand for modern, elderly care services and accommodation, as well as providing 100 jobs.

Designed by Holmes MIller, the facility offers 24/7 residential, nursing and dementia care services over 3 storeys. The L-shaped layout is a resident-focused feature which essentially splits the building into three, independent but still connected, cores as a preventive measure for any future pandemics or extreme illness between residents.

Each core is afforded integrated amenities such as en-suite bedrooms, dining and living spaces, cinema rooms, and specialist nursing facilities and offices for nursing staff for residents with additional support needs.

For family occasions, secluded quiet areas provide a private space to talk and relax, whilst a visitor’s cafe and celebration room can host larger family gatherings without impeding on the day-to-day lives of others.

CCG worked in tandem with the design team members to optimise the efficiency of the technical design, with the extent of the group’s divisional expertise used in construction from the manufacture of closed panel timber systems and timber fire doors, to flooring installation, and all joinery and plumbing trades.

Group members Arc-Tech (Scotland) and Arc-Tech MU also combined to provide turnkey installation solutions for M&E Building Services and all mains utilities connections.

Almond Valley welcomed its first residents in late 2024 and since then, the facility has become a much-valued contributor to the local economy whilst established links to local community groups and small businesses are supporting the health and emotional wellbeing of the residents and families alike.
