Gloucestershire care centre opens residential household

The Lakes Care Centre in South Cerney, Gloucestershire has opened a new household for residential care.

The opening of the centre, which is operated by The Orders of St John Care Trust, was attended by residents and their families, including members of the local community and local businesses.

Home manager Mandi Short said: “It’s fantastic to see so many people come along and celebrate with us and we look forward to welcoming new residents soon.”

The event gave an opportunity for families to find out more about the care offered at The Lakes and to view the home and meet its team. Those who attended enjoyed a high tea before the home was officially opened with the cutting of a ribbon.

The Lakes offers residential, dementia, respite and day care for up to 64 residents in eight bedroom households.

Each household offers a lounge and kitchen dining area, as well as assisted bathrooms and themed lounges.
