GRAHAM commenced work on Edinburgh’s newest care home on Wednesday 30 September 2009. The sod cutting event was attended by Michael Graham, Executive Chairman and Bert McCulloch, Contracts Director, GRAHAM.
Kingsinch Care Home is the fourth to be built by The City Edinburgh Council who hope to provide accommodation which is more suitable to the needs of older people to give them a better standard of living and a better quality of life.
Contracts Director Bert McCulloch, GRAHAM said: ‘We are delighted to continue our association and relationship with City of Edinburgh Council through this project and assist in them in delivering improved care and support facilities to the local community as part of Edinburgh’s Live Well in Later Life strategy.
Kings Inch Care Home, one of a series built for City of Edinburgh, also gives us a further opportunity to reinforce our commitment to providing continued local employment, supporting business commerce through our local supply chain’.
The 60 bed care home is due to open in spring 2011 and will cost around £8m to build.
