On completion the home will boast its own cinema, hair salon and café.

Care UK is operating the new Thame building which will open this autumn, regional director, Angela Zuraw, said: “As one of the most recent additions to an expanding portfolio of residential care homes, Cuttlebrook Hall, our fifth home in Oxfordshire, highlights our dedication at Care UK to enhancing the provision of residential care in the region.

“As we get one step closer to opening the doors to locals, it was fantastic to welcome the Deputy Mayor of Thame and, once the home’s interior is complete, we can’t wait to give Councillor Adrian Dite the grand tour.”

Care UK states that the home has been designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, and will include space for hobby and leisure activities.

Jordan Connachie, managing director at Kori added: “When designed well, physical spaces have been shown to contribute to individuals living longer, more fulfilling lives. Cuttlebrook Hall is well on track to be able to offer this benefit to its future residents in Thame. The construction is going well, and we're confident that we'll be able to hand the reins over to Care UK's seasoned team in summer.”
