Once built, the care home will comprise 60 bedrooms with en suite, wetroom facilities, plus a cinema, a hair salon, lounge and dining rooms, and landscaped gardens.

The strategic site, which fronts onto Warrington Road, has been cleared and is ready for development. It benefits from a central location in Widnes, within easy distance of the shopping centres, market, and A577 and A533.

Planning consent was achieved in November 2024 by Care Developments Limited, which identified the site's potential for elderly care use.

Following an open sales process with Will Edwards at Christie & Co, the consented site has been sold to Dr Sanjay Agarwal of large regional care home operator, Danan Group. 

David Wormald, director at Care Developments Limited, said: 'I want to wish Sanjay and his team all the best with progressing this development.'

Dr Sanjay Agarwal, director at Danan Group, commented: 'This acquisition marks another key step in Danan Group’s growth. We look forward to delivering a scheme that the community can be proud of.'

The site was sold for an undisclosed price.
