At Western, we’re committed to delivering innovative, efficient solutions that meet the evolving needs of healthcare facilities. One of our latest success stories is the recently completed expansion project at Westlands Residential Care Home. As the demand for space and services at Westlands grew, we stepped in to create additional, high-quality space that enhances the care home’s ability to serve its residents—without interrupting its essential operations.
Key Features of the Project
Our team provided a comprehensive solution that added several key facilities to Westlands Residential Care Home, including:
- Consultation rooms: These private spaces offer a comfortable and secure environment for medical consultations, allowing the care home to cater to more residents and specialists.
- WCs: Additional restroom facilities were installed to ensure the growing number of residents, staff, and visitors have convenient access to clean, modern amenities.
- Storage areas: Expanded storage was added to help streamline operations and improve the overall efficiency of the care home, ensuring that essential medical supplies and equipment are always within easy reach.
- Circulation spaces: We designed open and accessible corridors and walkways to ensure the free movement of residents, staff, and visitors. These spaces also meet regulatory standards for accessibility, improving the overall functionality of the care home.
Minimising Disruption with Off-Site Manufacturing
A major challenge in any healthcare environment is ensuring that construction or expansion projects do not disrupt the critical services that these facilities provide. At Western, we understand how essential it is to maintain continuity in healthcare delivery, and we have a solution to meet this need—our off-site manufacturing facilities.
By pre-fabricating much of the construction off-site, we were able to limit on-site work, thus reducing noise, dust, and disruption for both staff and residents. This approach also allowed us to maintain a higher degree of precision and quality control, ensuring that the new spaces were built to the highest standards.
Conclusion
The successful completion of the Westlands Residential Care Home expansion highlights Western’s commitment to delivering flexible, high-quality construction solutions for healthcare providers. With our innovative off-site manufacturing process, we can help organisations like Westlands grow and adapt without sacrificing service or quality.
