A new state of the art extra care facility is being developed in South Ribble. The scheme has been named Jubilee Gardens with reference to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
Jubilee Gardens is a £20.5 million investment for South Ribble to provide 75 apartments with supported living facilities including a café, hair salon and support services.
The site is located on the former print works site off West Paddock, adjacent to the Civic Centre in Leyland.
By introducing the extra care provision, this will ensure residents gain access to a high-quality housing which allows them to maintain their independence whilst at the same time ensuring access to vital support.

Why do we need an extra care facility in the borough?
