Just three weeks after the “new” Birch Abbey opened in Alexandra Road Southport , Dan Lingard, chief executive of the centre’s owner, iPersonally, gave the go-ahead to demolish the original building, which will be replaced by a further extension – and to advance recruitment plans.
“We’re so delighted with our new home that we’re going to throw an open day on Friday, September 10 and Saturday, September 11 so that prospective team members – whether experienced in the care sector, or, like some of our team, from completely unrelated backgrounds – can see at first hand what a fabulous working environment we have.
“The beauty of ‘new’ Birch Abbey is that not only is it considered to be at least the best dementia care centre in the region from our clients’ perspective, it is also a fabulous place to work.
“In supporting and caring for our clients, the Birch Abbey team themselves are supported by cutting edge technology and at least ten features and facilities never combined together anywhere else in the dementia care sector.
“From the start we designed-in features and facilities – both big and small – that will make a tremendous difference to the lives and lifestyles of our community at Birch Abbey – and the team.
“Crucial amongst issues important for our clients and the basic facilities such as hygiene, health, diet, comfort and security – but what’s important TO our clients are the things that make them feel comfortable and relaxed, as well as the all-important opportunities to provide physical and mental exercise and stimulation.”
Facilities include a dance studio, a pub and bistro, locations for a whole series of movements and interaction between clients and families, including a unique home-style family kitchen and dining room which can be reserved for family events and occasions.
Building-wide technology is being introduced to enhance efficiency, and bedrooms can be configured in a number of formats depending upon the needs and mobility of the individual. This combines to help make team members far more efficient and able to spend more quality time with clients and families.
Experienced dementia care support professionals, and prospective team members from other walks of life can call 01704 410010 to get full details of the open day.
