Situated on the former Livingston Development Corporation site, the new 60-bedroom development will help address the current gap in quality care home provision in West Lothian. There are 80 jobs being created at the new site.

The home is comprised of six suites, each with a lounge area, dining room and 10 well-equipped bedrooms ranging from standard, premium and deluxe. The development also offers a number of shared spaces including a main lounge and function suite, communal balcony and private garden.

Randolph Hill currently cares for more than 350 residents and employs over 500 members of staff at its six other sites across east and central Scotland.

Peter McCormick, managing director of Randolph Hill Nursing Homes Group, said: “We are delighted to open Kirk Lane, Livingston, our newest, and the group’s seventh, home. This is a high quality new build facility which not only helps address the current shortage of nursing care facilities in West Lothian, but also brings 80 new jobs into the local area.

“The completion of the Kirk Lane home, alongside the new housing on the site, has also transformed and given a long-derelict site in the town a new lease of life. We look forward to welcoming new residents and staff, and working together to make a positive impact across the wider Livingston community.”
