Hartford Care Refurbishes Care And Nursing Homes Across The Isle Of Wight
Care provider Hartford Care has invested £4 million across its care and nursing homes on the Isle of Wight: Highfield Nursing Home in Ryde, Springfield Nursing Home in Shanklin and Inver House and The Elms in Bembridge.
Work has recently commenced on an £850,000 improvement project at Inver House on Foreland Road, Bembridge, which will involve the refurbishment of the communal areas and new carpets, furniture and fittings throughout, along with external redecoration and improvements to the approach to Inver House and the car park.
In October last year, Springfield Nursing home on Arthurs Hill, Shankin, unveiled a newly-built extension with 16 en suite bedrooms, alongside a new lounge, dining area and hair salon. The £2.5 million project also included the redecoration of the existing communal areas with new furniture, to take the home up to 58 bedrooms.
Highfield Nursing Home on Queen’s Road, Ryde, also benefitted from a £500,000 investment, with solar panels to aid the homes energy efficiency and the refurbishment of communal areas, corridors and bedrooms, including the addition of five en suite wet rooms to existing bedrooms.
Finally, The Elms on Swains Road, Bembridge, completed a £150,000 project to improve its parking facilities, including resurfacing.
