A COTSWOLD town is set to welcome a new nursing home next month.
The owners of Moreton's new nursing home, Esmere Gardens, revealed they will officially open its doors in March.
The development, on Stow Road, spans across two floors and contains 60 ensuite bedrooms.
It lies opposite North Cotswold Community Hospital and Four Shires Medical Centre.
The nursing home has an open foyer with a café, cinema room, hairdressing, family playroom, four dining areas, and four lounge areas.
Esmere Gardens is one of the new additions to Taylor and Taylor Care - a family-run business that named the home after one of the founder's daughters, Esmere.
Charles Taylor, owner and director, said: "Esmere Gardens is the newest addition to our family business.
"Following on from the family theme, it is actually named after the owner's daughter, so it is a very personal addition.
"At Esmere Gardens we are working with a number of technology companies to really try and build a smart care home that utilises the newest technologies to help plan better personalised care.
"It isn't just about technology.
"Our facilities include a pub, restaurant, private dining facilities, and professional hair salon so that our residents can not only be cared for but also live their lives to the fullest."
The home has been designed with lighting that also changes its wavelength to match natural sunlight to help maintain a normal day and night rhythm.
It also has a call bell system that uses radar waves to automatically detect falls.
Mr Taylor added: "We are hoping to blend this use of technology with our expert clinical team to help make better clinical decisions around resident care, hopefully providing a better quality of life to our residents.
