The Grand care home is celebrating with a 10 year anniversary party this April, reflecting on the exceptional care provided to residents since its doors opened a decade ago.
Located on Greythorn Drive in West Bridgford, The Grand is one of two Nottingham-based New Care Homes locations,opened in 2015 by Baron Kenneth Clark. Fitted with 82 purpose-built bedrooms and other amenities such as a library, hairdresser and nail bar, the first of its kind care home has built a name for itself, giving residents a sense of community and pride over their home.
For the last 10 years, staff at The Grand have been delivering their exceptional person-focused care to those receiving residential, nursing, dementia or respite care services, along with a range of premium features such as daily restaurant-quality meals and engaging hobbies and activities, that all residents can enjoy however they’re able to.
The mayor celebrates with staff and residents
A decade is a milestone definitely worth celebrating, with even the mayor agreeing!
Councillor Andy Brown, the Mayor of Rushcliffe, was in attendance at the anniversary party, alongside the care home’s residents, staff (three of whom have been with the care home since it opened in 2015) and Dawn Collett, Commissioning Director of New Care Homes.
Of the staff celebrating their own 10-year milestone was Ellen the Home Trainer, Head Chef Paul and Bridget, The Grand’s Wellbeing Coordinator.
Family members of the residents also joined to say a big thank you to the team for 10 years of hard work and to enjoy a day with their loved ones.
Later this month, founder Lord Kenneth Clarke will be welcomed back to The Grand to enjoy afternoon tea with its staff and residents, rounding out the anniversary celebrations in style.
A decade of community-driven care
Attendants were not just celebrating with a 10 year anniversary party, for The Grand, but also a decade of the West Bridgford community and the joy that it brings to their residents.
Outings to the local green spaces, Old Market square and even museums around Nottingham are just some of the experiences that the West Bridgford and Nottingham community have made possible, adding that extra bit of colour to residents’ lives.
For those residents who are limited in their mobility, or just don’t really fancy getting out and about, The Grand’s cafe, patio and quiet lounge are places of respite and relaxation for residents.
Councillor Andy Brown said: “I am delighted to be here today to help celebrate this milestone. Over the last decade The Grand has cared for a great many local people, delivering wonderful levels of care in these beautiful surroundings.
“It is testament to the exceptional environment created 10 years ago that many local people in Rushcliffe have been able to stay in the heart of the community that they love while being expertly cared for here at The Grand. It’s been a privilege for us to join you today and I wish you many more years of success in the future.”
New Care Homes Commissioning Director, Dawn Collett, said:
“It’s truly amazing to see one of our care homes hit this milestone. Even more so to see the staff who have been here so long, some since we opened The Grand’s doors, being appreciated for their hard work.
“Having team members who are so dedicated to the quality of care we commit to at New Care Homes is one of the things that makes this line of work such a joy. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the day with the residents who have found a home at The Grand and the staff who make it that home.
“We’d also love to extend a thanks to the community of West Bridgford for being a welcoming force to our residents when they’re on their local adventures!”
