Work has begun on the construction of a new 76-bed care home in Odd Down, which will provide residential and dementia care and create 140 local jobs.
How the new development will look
Midford Manor will be managed by family-run care provider Hallmark Care Homes.
It is being built by their sister company Savista Developments at a total project cost of £14 million across a 1.6-acre site at Frome Road, next to the Sainsbury’s supermarket.
Hallmark’s Managing Director Ram Goyal, Chair Avnish Goyal and the site’s construction team were recently joined by Deputy Mayor Gerry Curran and Head Teacher Claire Parfitt from St Martin’s Garden Primary School, to officially mark the start of the build.
The care home will feature a café, ice cream parlour, a state-of-the-art cinema, a hairdressers and therapy room.

The home will have a specialist dementia community as well as outdoor space on all floors, including terraces, a roof garden and orangery where residents will be encouraged to take part in gardening and enjoy the sun all year round.
The site team also plan to work closely with neighbours and students at St Martin’s Garden Primary School including creating a unique sculpture for the home.
Chair of Hallmark Care Homes and Managing Director of Savista Developments, Avnish Goyal said: “We are so excited to have started our fifth care home project with Savista since launching in September last year.
“We have a wealth of knowledge and experience building award-winning care homes and we cannot wait to create this luxurious care home for the community of Bath and deliver exceptional care in award-winning designs for the benefit of future residents to be supported to lived active and fulfilled lives.”
Midford Manor is scheduled to open its doors to its first residents in Spring 2022.
