The proposed development of a high quality care home at 1 Harbour Way in Dalgety Bay has been put forward by Morrison Community Care (Dalgety Bay) Propco Limited – a subsidiary of Morrison Community Care (CCG) Holdco Limited and Scape Homes SD Ltd.

Details in the planning application lodged with Fife Council reveal that the site would see a 68 suite care home built with covid-19 safety in mind, on-site parking and green space to rise to the demand for advanced, quality care housing for the region’s ageing population.

Paul Sokhi, Managing Director of Morrison Community Care Group, said: “Both Morrison Community Care and CCG have already worked together for half a decade having successfully created two luxury care homes with a further two presently under construction.

"Thus, it is very exciting to be involved at Dalgety Bay where we will aim to make a positive, long-term contribution by delivering sector-leading standards of health and care provision.”

Matt Heaney, Senior Architect with Holmes Miller added: “Dalgety Bay Luxury Suites represents the next phase of design development with Morrison Community Care and CCG’s building technology to establish a state-of-the-art care home suitable for the post-covid era.

"The life of the residents has been uppermost in our considerations from the creation of small, self-contained, community groups within the wider home to generous and attractive communal areas with access to external balcony space for each community group.

"The development of the Harbour Way site creates a vital, modern care facility and a welcoming corner landmark, to this important access to the Dalgety Bay settlement.”
