Coate Water Care is constructing a 60-bed care home in South Marston, scheduled to open next year, which will integrate renewable energy technologies. The facility will utilize solar panels, a ground source heat pump, and water-saving systems to minimize carbon emissions.

Planning permission was granted earlier this year. The home aims for near net-zero operational carbon output, with a focus on energy efficiency and reduced reliance on grid power. Sustainability is now incorporated into the Care Quality Commission's regulatory framework, highlighting its significance in healthcare.
