Care Home’s Grand Opening In Pensby

RidgewoodGuests gathered in the glorious sunshine for the official opening of a beautiful new Sanctuary Care home in Pensby.

Ridgewood Court Residential Care Home in Ridgewood Drive was declared open by its very first resident Vera Grant, who cut the ribbon at the ceremony, along with the Deputy Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Geoffrey Watt.

Guests were given a guided tour of the stunning home, which provides residential and residential dementia care, as well enjoying live music from a guitarist and jazz pianist, followed by a mouth-watering buffet.

Speaking about cutting the ribbon at the event, which took place last Wednesday (18 April), Vera, who has a floor at the home named after her said: “I felt flattered to be asked and the staff here at Ridgewood made it a very special day.

“I am very happy at the home – it was a big move but the staff have made me feel very welcome and made my first day extra special.”

Councillor Geoffrey Watt said: ‘The Deputy Mayoress and I were delighted to be invited to the opening of Ridgewood Court Residential Care Home in Pensby, to meet some of the first residents and be shown around by the manager, staff and directors from Sanctuary Care. We were really impressed by the design of the building and the facilities it offers, which we are certain will be appreciated by residents and their families for many years to come.”

Chris Poole, Sanctuary Care’s Director of Business Development added: “It was an honour to meet our residents, who have settled into their new home so quickly, as well as the fantastic team. The occasion was extra special because Ridgewood Court is the first home that we have opened this year, in what is Sanctuary Care’s 20th anniversary of delivering care to our residents – a double celebration indeed.”

Ridgewood Court is beautifully decorated and furnished throughout and features 60 spacious en-suite bedrooms, light and airy open plan lounge and dining areas and an on-site café. It also boasts a boutique shop, hairdressing and beauty salon, a themed cinema room and Wi-Fi.

The team and residents will be looking forward to inviting people from the local community along to see the home for themselves and will be holding a variety of events throughout the year – so watch this space.

Meanwhile on Saturday 21 April the home opened its doors to people from the local community for a royal themed Care Home Open Day celebration, to tie in with The Queen’s birthday, with more than 200 guests attending.
