The new Home will provide 45 placements for residents and will offer nursing care and residential dementia care facilities with the latest assistive technologies and design, to ensure a personalised approach to care and support.
Prior to the official grand opening, open days for residents, relatives and staff will be arranged to enable them to explore the new Home. We will also invite other stakeholders to view the care home before our residents move to the new Home. In line with government guidance, visitors will need to adhere to all the infection control measures that will be in place at that time and maintain social distancing as appropriate.
Residents and relatives will receive an orientation leaflet, which will provide details about the Home’s different areas and services available to support the moving in process.
Staff members will also undertake training to allow them to familiarise with the Home and understand health and safety procedures, to ensure they continue to deliver the same high standards of care and support to our residents.
Following the completion of the new care home, we will then move into the next phase, which is the construction of the retirement community. The retirement community will be a new venture for RMBI Care Co. as part of expanding our services to truly offer “a home for life”. The site will consist of 60 apartments, a mix of one and two bedrooms, together with leisure facilities including a swimming pool, gym, restaurant, bar and other communal spaces, which will also be available for our care home residents.
The purpose of the retirement community is to combine high quality housing for older people with tailored support services. Residents will be able to maintain their privacy and independence, with the reassurance of 24-hour on-site staff and communal facilities. Our aim is to help people continue to live at home with the security, social support and activities that comes from being part of a wider community. Residents also have a peace of mind that, as and when needed, further care and support can be provided by our trained and dedicated staff.
