The suite will be officially opened by Adept Care Homes own specialist Dementia Manager, Karen Middleton. The new residential suite will support residents by helping them to maintain their independence whilst they pursue their hobbies, and the interests they enjoy.

We have seen the happiness levels of our residents soar when they are in an environment designed with them in mind.”

The new suite has enabled existing staff members to be promoted internally and receive training to increase their skill set. It has also created several new vacancies open to external candidates in the local community.

We put our residents at the centre of everything we do and pride ourselves on offering the highest standards of person-centred care within a safe, supportive and homely environment.”

Sam Kavanagh  added “Our team is also committed to introducing new initiatives to encourage the residents to engage with the local community and one another, which is a crucial part of positive, dementia care.”
