A NEW care home in Huntington, Chester, is inviting the local community to celebrate its completion with an exclusive first look inside the purpose-built facilities.

Care UK is one of the largest providers of residential care for older people.

Deewater Grange on Chester Road is opening its doors from Friday, January 31 to Sunday, February 2, to give people to take a look at the care home before it fills in from February 3.

Between 10am-4pm, people can drop on to take a look around the new care home, which would provide care up to 58 older people. There is an opportunity to meet the team at Deewater Grange including the home manager Sally Cooper and customer relations manager Donna Brown.

Sally said: “The team at Deewater Grange is looking forward to welcoming the first residents to the home.

"We are really proud of the environment that has been created, and every last detail here has been considered to create a high-quality, luxury care home which will enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives.

“The open days will give visitors the chance to see the care home for themselves and to talk to the team, while also getting an insight into what day-to-day life will be like at Deewater Grange.

"They can also find out more about the kind of activities that will be on offer.”

Following the first residents moving into the new care home in February, a grand launch will be hosted on Thursday, March 26, which will see the winners of Care UK’s local heroes competition announced.

People only have until Friday, January 31 to nominate a ‘local hero’, by visiting careuk.com/care-homes/deewatergrange /local-heroes and explaining in 100-400 words why they deserve to be rewarded.

The new care home, which will provide residential, dementia and nursing care, features 58 ensuite bedrooms, plus space for hobby and leisure activities and will include its own cinema, hairdressing salon, and café.
