More than 100 “expressions of interest” have been submitted for places in the £40 million Hammerson House care home redevelopment in Hampstead Garden Suburb — 18 months before the first residents move in.
Nightingale Hammerson chief executive Helen Simmons expects the keys to be handed over late next year with residents taking their places from spring 2021.
She was heartened by the enthusiasm for the 116-place residential, nursing and dementia care facility, particularly as the official waiting list was not yet open.
Interest had come partly from people who knew of the charity’s reputation — its Nightingale home in Clapham is currently the only Jewish residential home rated outstanding overall by the Care Quality Commission.
