There are 62 one bedroom and 6 two-bedroom apartments. It offers a real alternative to residential care by enabling residents to maintain an independent lifestyle in a safe and secure environment.

MacGregor Tithe is located in the centre of Tamworth and in walking distance to local amenities such as shops and GP surgeries. There are good transport services to travel further afield.

This scheme was built in 1999 on the site of the former Tamworth General Hospital. It involved both new development and refurbishment of historic parts of the old hospital, including the memorial hall which is situated alongside the scheme.

Residents' assessed care needs are provided for by the on-site care agency, including a 24-hour response to emergency calls. A Retirement Housing Officer is also available on weekdays, to support and encourage the wellbeing of residents and ensure that facilities at MacGregor Tithe are maintained to the highest standard."
