Vivant Care has reached a significant construction milestone for its new care home in Dartmouth, with a topping-out ceremony held on 28 April 2025, now marking the building as fully watertight.
The event, attended by senior stakeholders, as well as the project and construction teams, culminated in the signing of the final roof tile, marking the completion of the building’s highest point at Bayards Court, located within the Little Cotton Farm estate.
The 63-bed care home, set to open in Spring 2026, is designed to provide exceptional residential care in a setting that promotes independence, well-being, and extraordinary living. Once complete, Bayards Court will offer beautiful outdoor spaces and landscaped gardens, superior dining experiences and stylish communal spaces; perfect to host friends and family.
The construction, led by Lancer Scott, has also provided a boost to the local economy, supporting 107 construction jobs throughout the build. Once operational, Bayards Court will create around 80 permanent roles, spanning care, hospitality, and administrative positions, reinforcing Vivant Care’s commitment to investing in the Dartmouth community.
As the project progresses towards opening, Vivant Care remains focused on delivering an exceptional care environment that prioritises comfort, choice, and enriched experiences for residents.
