Construction began on a new Anniesland care home, which is set to create 100 jobs.

The new facility on Anniesland Road will create 58 spaces for residents and regenerate the land across from Yarrow Recreation Club.

As we reported previously, a planning application for the new development was submitted by Morrison Community Care Group and CCG (Scotland) in 2022 and granted approval earlier this year.

Following a methodical design blueprint that caters to the needs of people over the age of 65, the care home will offer a range of integrated amenities including private, en-suite bedrooms and dining rooms with meals cooked by professional chefs, as well as a cinema room, hair salon, champagne bar, visitor’s cafe and landscaped grounds.

Morrison Community Care Managing Director, Paul Sokhi, said: “Morrison Community Care is a family-run business that has its roots in Anniesland. Morrison House, our very first care home, was opened on Anniesland Road in 1988 and was under our ownership for over 20 years.

“We are delighted to be back with Anniesland Luxury Suites, where we are not just addressing localised demand for modern accommodation for the elderly, but also creating up to 100 jobs whilst helping secure the future of a much-valued and well-utilised community facility.  

“This is yet another step on the group’s journey to achieve our target of becoming the largest care home developer in the UK, to ease pressure on the NHS, and to provide quality, welcoming, sustainable care facilities for those that require them in our local communities and beyond.

“We look forward to working alongside Yarrow Recreation Club and the wider community as we bring the development to completion in 2025.”
