New Complex Care Home Opens to Telford Community

Exemplar Health Care is celebrating the opening of its brand-new Shropshire care home.

The construction of Woodside Place on Woodside Avenue started in May 2023, and is Exemplar Health Care’s first home in Shropshire.

Woodside Place supports adults living with complex and high acuity needs arising from complex mental health conditions, dementia, neuro-disabilities and physical disabilities.

The home has 33 large bedrooms, each with an en-suite, split across three units. With this small group living model, Exemplar Health Care has found it can provide a supportive environment that is more responsive to people’s needs. The home will also have communal dining and living spaces, an activities hub, sensory bathrooms, a therapy room, salon and an accessible garden.

Prior to the first residents moving into the home this week, the new team completed a comprehensive induction, training and team building programme. This included Exemplar Health Care’s recently launched ‘Aspire’ Leadership Programme, learning essential skills such as personal effectiveness, leading a team, and colleague coaching.
