Hull Care Home | Case Study

The Project

Pacy and Wheatley, National Healthcare Construction Company, were delighted to have been awarded the Magdalen Park Care Home construction project, for YorKare Homes, in Hedon Hull. It is our largest new build nursing home which opened on the 1st September 2014 with a build cost of £3.4 million. The home can accommodate up to 64 residents needing nursing, residential or specialist dementia care.

The ground floor is split into two units of 12 beds with their own sensory gardens with model animals and an allotment, dining rooms and lounge areas. In-between the two units is the 'street scene' which includes a shop named Sweets and Treats, a hair and beauty salon and a pub - The Magdalen Arms.

The first and second floors are for residents needing residential or nursing care. This area includes a large lounge with a library and computer station, entertainment room, Roof top conservatory and dining room. Both the first floor and second floor have outdoor areas, the first with a terrace off the lounge and the second floor having a rooftop garden including an artificial bowls green.

All of the bedrooms are large with full ensuite wet rooms. There are also 2 premier suites specially designed for couples or siblings with their own kitchenettes and living areas, but these can be used individually also. These create a very independent lifestyle and really are a home within a home.

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. We did it!

To raise money for Bluebell Wood who provide care, respite & support to poorly children & their family and as a fun but challenging way for P&W staff and family to work as a team outside of our daily work lives. A total of 17 victims completed the challenge including a site engineer, accounts manager, project surveyors, labourer, chairman, cleaner, directors & site managers along with their family. The 25 mile walk comprised of the ascent and descent of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks from Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and last but certainly not least Ingleborough. We left Doncaster in a bus provided by P&W at 4am to arrive and start the walk at 7am. After a break for lunch we then tackled the last peak. P&W provided accommodation, food & drinks for all our fund raising. In return our team have so far raised over £5000 for Bluebell Wood with the total still rising.


Well done all the Pacy & Wheatley team for taking part, and succeeding in the Yorkshire peaks challenge Saturday. Great day spent with great people, with some great memories. Helping those less fortunate than ourselves through our support of the Bluebell wood children's hospice. The exact total raise is still to confirm, with sponsorship still coming in, but we will have raised over £2500.00, fantastic. Just needs some new legs now!!!!!!!

Healthcare Construction Experts Complete London Project

The Project

Pacy and Wheatley, experts in Healthcare Construction, are proud to have completed the Dartford, project in London. A remodelling project was a fast track scheme with five phases over a 25 week period, to include the formation of a new six bed resuscitation facility, major injuries, minor injuries, GP call centre, and remodelled reception and waiting areas. Liquid plastic roof coverings were also renewed over the department. This scheme was the first NHS “Unplanned Care” facility within the UK.

External works- including new gas, water and electric services, a new car park and sewer connections- have being successfully co-ordinated to ensure minimal disruption to the residents on the street.

Due to the plot being on a known bat passage the landscaping were designed to give consideration to the passing and potentially roosting animals. The end product is an attractive, well finished and beautifully landscaped building.

The Challenge

The project is on the main street in Dartford and is a Grade 2 listed building with some severe water damage to 3 rooms at the rear.

The site also has archaeological interests for the local area, so some activities require the presence of archaeologist to attend; we will see what they find.

The work can be challenging working on a Grade 2 listed building you can take 1 step forward and 2 steps back, But we are confined that we can restore the building to ensure that the building is fit for future generation.
