Over 100 guests, including the Mayor Councillor Dine Romero, were invited to experience Hallmark Midford Manor, a new, 80 bed, residential, dementia and nursing home.
Local businesses and care professionals alike were encouraged to tickle their tastebuds, enjoy demonstrations from some of the home’s 80 new team members and view their facilities which include 14 luxurious suites, which form part of a unique retirement living offering called The Residences.
Residents who live at The Residences have access to a premium suite with a kitchenette, and exclusive amenities, such as a cocktail bar and terrace, fine dining and concierge services.
Other features at the home include; a sensory room to support residents living with dementia, a craft room, and celebrations area which will be used for family gatherings and special events.
Meanwhile outside there is a summer house, gardening club area with raised planters, and a little one’s play area to be used by visiting grandchildren and St Martin’s Garden Primary School next door.
The afternoon event was concluded by speeches and a performance from a string quartet.
