Placemake have been appointed to prepare a feasibility study for an extension of the existing care facilities at Foxholes in Hitchin.
Based around the core of the existing care home, the vision is for a more holistic offering that would be underpinned by greater integration with the wider natural context, a variety of activities and a strong sense of community.
The model would be relatively new to the UK and builds upon pioneering projects that are operating successfully in the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Ireland and the ethos of the Maggie’s Centres across the UK.
