Bircherley Court is an existing
sheltered housing scheme
constructed in the early 1970's and located in a prominent town centre location. Kyle Smart Associates Limited have been involved with the scheme from the early feasibilities and have worked closely with an
RSL, the staff and the residents of this elderly care home with intention to upgrade existing flats and common parts to lifetime homes standards, while also introducing a new Community hub for use by both residents and the wider community.
The redevelopment of Bircherley Court is an integral part of the
RSL's Older People Strategy
with the intention that the redevelopment will be recognised as the leading older person's assisted independent living scheme in the region.
