MALVERN'S newest residential home, on Barnards Green Road, was opened by Sir Michael Spicer MP last Friday.
The £2.5 million Hastings residential care home, owned by Stratford-based Heart of England Housing and Care, is claimed to be one of the most up-to-date in the country.
It features 60 rooms with en suite facilities and a number of special bathrooms with modern equipment for assisted and therapeutic bathing.
Heart of England chairman Moira Cole said: "Hastings is one of the first purpose-built homes in the country designed specifically to meet or exceed the standards of the new Care Standards Act introduced by the Government."
It is also the first to be completed as part of the company's £18 million five-year investment programme to bring all nine of its Worcestershire homes up to registration standard.
