Pinders Healthcare Design Awards 2010

SDC are proud and honoured that Anjulita Court in Bedford, a prestigious design and build residential care home has been shortlisted as one of 3 finalists for the Pinders Healthcare Design Awards 2010.  Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Presentation Luncheon in London on Thursday 25th March.

The Healthcare Design Awards seek to acknowledge the contribution made by designers, architects and the owners of care homes, hospitals and other care schemes to the well-being and quality of life for those in their care.  Whilst architectural standards and innovation are key factors, the overriding test for any project has to be the degree to which it has recognised the needs and desires of the residents and incorporated these into the final design. 

The awards also recognise the important contribution made by the owners of all types of care facility - irrespective of size or category of care.  The judges will be looking to reward quality of care, achieved through quality of design, rather than design alone.

Anjulita Court is a partnership between The Ibbett Trust, a local Bedfordshire trust and MHA (Methodist Homes for the Aged), a national charity providing services for over 12,500 people.  The facility provides care for local older people with dementia and nursing needs.
