About
Northfield Village is a unique development that brings together a range of accommodation, community and care facilities on one site. The development is an innovative scheme which provides people with accommodation choices and a holistic approach to care, allowing people to continue to live the lifestyle they want in the same familiar locality. From preventative services and a community hub to a doctor’s surgery and a specialist dementia home, Northfield Village is a bold new model of integrated services.
The site features:
- Elmwood Extra care – 80 apartments for over 55s
- Limewood dementia care – A specialised care facility with 59 en-suite bedrooms for every age and every stage of dementia, with a community resource hub.
- Health centre/GP surgery/pharmacy
- Community Hub – café, restaurant, bar, community rooms
- Community learning facility
- Occupational Health accommodation
- Saltbank supported housing – for people with learning disabilities
- Affordable general needs housing
- A woodchip Energy Centre providing the site with heating and hot water
- High quality Public realm and outdoor community spaces
The project is a partnership between Staffordshire County Council, The Wrekin Housing Trust, Choices and Galliford Try

- BREEAM Very Good

Whilst the Limewood dementia centre is funded by Choices and The Wrekin Housing Trust, it is built to the same standards as rest of the scheme.
