Couple get keys to home at Ballantine

One couple were handed over keys to the first home for the elderly in Ballantine Garden Village near the Hillhall Road in Lisburn.

This first handover this month, forms the showpiece for the forthcoming Pavilions model, an exciting and accessible new model for elderly care.

The model is designed by WJ Law, a family-owned business with over 100 years’ experience of designing homes and building communities.

The model is founded on the principle where an older person may move in and be looked after whilst paying a rent for their own home, providing an alternative to the traditional care home setting.

The Pavilions utilise ‘Connected Health’ for better health management and security, with features including a 24 hour concierge service and the smart technology within each individual home.

The concierge service is designed to coordinate the care needs of each resident, arrange for domiciliary care be that private or state provided.

Elderly residents will have a range of funding streams and entitlements which may be coordinated by the concierge.
