New Stoke care home opens its doors to the public

The Priory Group's first care home for older people in England, Amberley House in Stoke-on-Trent, is opening its doors to show the local community the fantastic facilities available.

Amberley House, a 76-bedded purpose built nursing care home, is part of the first phase of the company's new care plans for older people.   It has created  much needed jobs for the local community.

The home will provide nursing and dementia services in single, en-suite accommodation finished to the highest standard. There will also be a choice of lounges and dining areas and an enclosed landscaped garden.

The home's dementia floor will utilise the very latest research in dementia care focussing on a person's abilities. Dementia-signposting will assist with orientation and a reminiscence room will be available.

All residents will have access to carefully planned activities and a wide range of professionals including a hairdresser, chiropodist, optician and GP.

The Priory Group also has specialist care homes for adults under 65 years providing care for those requiring neuro-rehabilitation or who have complex physical and learning disabilities.

Bhvana Jones, managing director of Priory Group Care Homes Division said:  "We are investing in older people's services over the next few years.     Amberley House has been well received by our colleagues in the public sector, particularly the provision of dementia services.    We are very proud to be a part of the local community and look forward to welcoming many visitors to our new home on the 25th April.

"The Open Day will give the opportunity for people to tour the home, meet the team and ask any questions they may have about the care available."
