I for one am pleased that Ampthill will have a care home, as we certainly need one. I have lived here for many years and when my time comes I would prefer to stay here in my home town. I will be putting my parent's name down for a room there as soon as I can too; life will be much easier for me to have them close by. Does anyone know who will be running it/owning it and when it's likely to be opening?

I contacted the company building the new home and the response is pasted below.

Thank you for your email, the anticipated completion for the care home is July 2016 we do not yet have a company to run it but as soon as we do we will put some signage up.

Interesting that they are building the home without knowing who is going to run it.

That's quite common in the sector. There will be interested parties. Central Beds is recognised to have a shortage of residential / nursing home beds.
