天涯社区鈥檚 new 拢8.4 million expanded and redeveloped Marleyfield House, is opening its doors today.听 听
The care home has doubled its capacity to support up to 64 older people, with听 an expansion that has been purpose built to accommodate the needs of older people not only looking for a new home with residential care but also residents who have had a stay in hospital and will benefit from a range of therapies to help them return home having gained maximum independence.
The new 32 rooms have private outdoor space either through a balcony on the first floor or a patio on the ground.听 The extension has also created a new communal area both indoors and outdoors, office space and store rooms, extended car parking facilities and extensive sensitive landscaping designed to encourage residents to use the outdoor space to enhance their wellbeing.听 The kitchen facilities have also been remodeled and refurbished to provide for the needs of an increasing number of diners.
Refurbishment is also ongoing within the original building to give a fresh new look for residents living within these areas.
This is an excellent example of the local authority鈥檚 pro-active approach to addressing the current significant pressures and fragility in the care sector across the country.听听
Working in partnership with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and supported by Welsh Government funding, 16 of the rooms will be provided for placements tor older people in need of support as part of a timely and appropriate hospital discharge. 天涯社区 residents will benefit from intense rehabilitation from an onsite team to help maximise their independence whilst providing realistic and real time assessment of longer-term needs, aiming to get people back home to their own homes within 6 weeks.听
