St. Joseph’s Sheltered Housing

Above: Proposed Site Plan

Project Introduction:

LV Care Group approached MAC Architecture in 2023 to develop a scheme for over 55’s housing within the grounds of the existing St Joseph’s Residential and Nursing Home which has led to a proposal for 42 new sheltered homes.

In Jersey there are extensive waiting lists for care home spaces together with a high demand for family homes. This proposal aims to alleviate the pressure on these needs by providing alternative forms of accommodation that maintain independence, while providing the reassurance of the nearby care home staff and facilities. In addition, the proposal offers a social and community focused design that acts as a further impotence for potential residence to move on from larger, isolated homes typically found in Jersey’s rural parishes.

The site has a system of existing pathways on a steep topography with  an established fabric of mature trees and gardens. This proposal specifically retains and celebrates this landscape for the benefit of future residents, existing care home residents and members of the public.

The current scheme is still being developed and as part of the design process we welcome feedback from the public in order to enhance the scheme further and to discuss any concerns. Given this, we look forward to welcoming you to the public consultation within the Dining Hall of the Care Home on the 23rd of September.

Additional information on the proposed scheme will be posted here as it is developed.
