A local care home has undergone a large-scale refurbishment aimed at improving and adding additional home comforts for its service users.
Residents of Rose Lodge Care Home in Newton Aycliffe have been treating themselves to beauty treatments and pampering in the home’s new beauty room and enjoying socialising in their newly refurbished lounge.
The home has also been developing facilities in its specialist dementia unit, including the addition of an indoor garden room so residents with dementia can enjoy the sensations and therapeutic benefits of the outdoors even in poor weather, with the area being used for activities and for families and residents to enjoy picnics.
Nicola Wheatley, Home Manager at Rose Lodge, Said: “We are delighted with how our new facilities have turned out. We have had a very positive response from residents and visitors and we have several other projects in the pipeline that we are very excited about.”
Rose Lodge Care Home is part of the Countrywide Care Group and Regional Director Stephen Young said: “We always strive to offer the very best in quality standards, both in terms of the care that we deliver and also in the living environment for our residents. Rose Lodge is a home that we are extremely proud of.
The investment we have made into the refurbishment and development of new facilities have made the surroundings even more welcoming and comfortable for residents and visitors.”
