Led by Enfield Council, the Reardon Court Extra Care Home will provide affordable housing for older people in an assisted living facility, allowing them to live independently with access to round-the-clock care. It is being developed on the site of a former care home in Cosgrove Close, which was granted planning permission in 2021.
Comprising 70 units, the home will provide a range of communal and amenity spaces, including a multi-use hobby room, library, and hairdressing area for residents, as well as a separate office for staff.

In terms of the structure, the main building is rectangular shaped and features two internal courtyards separated by a single-storey building clad with brick, which will house the residents’ communal areas. It will be connected to two three-storey buildings, also clad in brick, which will accommodate the 70 units, all of which will feature balconies facing the courtyard. Externally, there will be an allotment area and green spaces populated with trees, seating areas, and parking for visitors.
Andrius Jurevicius, Contracts Manager at GRAHAM, said: "We're proud to be partnering with the London Borough of Enfield on this new care home, which will guarantee independence, safety, and comfort for local residents for years to come. We have a growing population of older people in the UK who deserve access to the same quality of life and independence at retirement age, which is why developments like these are important and needed."
Work is expected to be complete in Q1 2024.
