Ideal Carehomes has officially opened its 27th development, the 66-bed Woodland View care home in Droitwich Spa in Worcestershire.
The £12m care home features a hair salon, cinema room, traditional tea room and Sky Bar as well as a botanical room leading onto landscaped gardens.
Earlier this year, the Mayor of Droitwich Spa - Cllr. William Moy (pictured) - visited the development during the final phase of construction to plant the first tree in the homes grounds during the official topping out ceremony.
This ancient ritual seeks to appraise the tree dwelling spirits which may have been disturbed during the build.
Moy was interested to hear about the care teams’ commitment to combatting loneliness in local older people, as home manager Cindy Hawkins explained how dedicated activity coordinators will provide varied activities through a packed social calendar that is tailored to each resident's interests and hobbies.
“I would like to thank everyone at Woodland View very much for the lovely welcome to such a fantastic care home,” said Moy.
“I was thrilled to take a tour around the facilities and very proud to be able to plant a commemorative tree, I wish the whole team luck as you begin to welcome new residents,” he added.
