Glenside plans green lit

Four 'communities' at Summerhill View

A new care home in Douglas has received the official go-ahead.

Planning permission has been approved for the 60-bed facility on the home of the former Glenside site.

Since its closure five years ago, the Department of Health and Social Care has been debating its replacement.

A previous planning application was refused earlier this year.

'Summerhill View', as it will be known, promises a high standard of living for elderly residents - with four separate 'village' communities and an ensuite in every room.

One of the communities will be equipped especially for dementia sufferers.
