Cooper Cromar have received detailed planning consent for the construction of a new 40 bed Dementia Care Unit for the Scottish based charity Erskine, within the grounds of their existing hospital complex.
Erskine is the UK's foremost care facility for ex-Service men and women. Each year it cares for around 1,000 ex-Service men and women of all ages throughout Scotland. Creating a compassionate, homely environment is key to Erskine's person-centred approach to care.
Erskine first opened its doors at Bishopton near Glasgow in 1916 to tend the wounded returning from the battlefields of the First World War. Over 70,000 people have been cared for at Erskine and today's residents include the veterans and casualties who fought for our freedom in World War Two, as well as those involved in more recent conflicts around the world.
