£1.5m care home plan creates 20 jobs

The Hamilton family, who first established a nursing home in 1987, have modernised and significantly expanded their facility with the support of the bank.

Hamilton Private Nursing Home, on the Ballycorr Road has been completely refurbished and modernised with the addition of a purpose-built extension.

New facilities include luxury en-suite bedrooms, lounges with rural views, a riverside café and hairdressing salon.

Heather Hamilton says: “Such has been the scope of the renovations that we have effectively created a new-build facility. We have worked closely with Ulster Bank to be able to create a modern home which can continue to provide high quality care to local people. Already, we have had a very positive response from all visitors, including those from the caring professions.”

Nigel Walsh, Director, Commercial Banking NI, Ulster Bank, said: “The health and care sector is an important priority for Ulster Bank, and we have significant funds available this year to lend to the industry.

“The Hamiltons are long-standing clients with a quality business, and we are pleased to support them with this important investment.”

The home was designed by Blackstaff Architects .
