The Grove Care Home in Waltham recently opened its doors to the community to celebrate the unveiling of its newly refurbished and expanded facilities.
Specialising in residential, dementia, and respite care, The Grove welcomed over 40 guests to the event, where they were invited to tour the updated facilities, meet the warm and welcoming staff, enjoy live entertainment, and a delightful afternoon tea.
Special guests included Deputy Mayor Cllr Janet Goodwin and Deputy Consort Mr Barry Goodwin, who participated in the ceremonial ribbon-cutting alongside Country Court Chairman Abdul Kachra and resident Josephine Austin.
Together, they officially opened the new spaces and expressed their best wishes for the home’s future. They also looked forward to attending future events at the care home, such as the summer and Christmas fairs.
“The Grove Care Home has proudly cared for up to 52 residents, and with our recent expansion, we can now accommodate up to 71,” said Operations Manager Lianne Webb.
“Our refurbishment has introduced new and improved day spaces, such as our Elegance Hair Salon, The Coffee Club Café, 19 additional en-suite bedrooms, and refreshed lounge and dining areas. These enhancements have been a great benefit to both our residents and their families.”
Client Services Manager Rebecca Dayton commented on the event, saying: “Our talented Chef Manager, Hayley Barber, and the kitchen staff created a fantastic spread of food, including fish and chip-themed cupcakes that beautifully reflected the local culture.”
Customer Relations Manager Ros Wells added: “We are committed to providing person-centred care and creating a family-first approach. I want to personally thank our incredible staff, whose dedication and hard work continue to make a difference every day.”
Operations Manager Lianne Webb concluded by saying: “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our Open Day and made this event so special for all of us at The Grove. Your kind words throughout the day have been deeply appreciated by our entire team.”
