Blairgowrie Care Home Receives Refurb
A care home in Blairgowrie has received a £293k refurbishment that includes redecoration throughout the communal areas within the home and upgraded heating solutions providing residents with a quality living and wellbeing experience.
Beech Manor, part of the Renaissance Care group, has received the cash boost to upgrade communal areas including the dining rooms, lounge areas, activities rooms, bar, corridors and office space.
One of the most significant changes in the home was the newly upgraded heating solutions that include infrared heating panels. These will replace the existing heating systems to provide better circulation of heat within the homes while they will vastly improve energy efficiency and sustainability ratings.
"Continual investment across our portfolio of homes is an important part of our role as we ensure excellent environments and standards for our residents, relatives and staff."
Louise Barnett, Managing Director
The installation comes following a £30k trial of the technology within one wing of Renaissance Care’s Torry Care Home, the group established that the work would bring significant benefits across the group and have invested in a year-long project that will upgrade all homes with electric energy systems.
Madeana Laing, Care Home Manager, Beech Manor said: “Beech Manor has always been a quality living environment but with the series of newly rolled out improvements I am confident we are offering our residents and their families one of the best residential experiences in the area.
“Beech Manor care home goes beyond just the residential and clinical requirements of our residents and offers the typical lifestyle perks that people become accustomed to in life before coming to us. We offer an on-site hairdresser for residents to use as well as a landscaped garden and veranda to relax on.”
The investment is part of a group-wide package of upgrades from Renaissance Care which saw improvements across the country in care homes including; Beech Manor in Blairgowrie, Wyndwell in Peterhead, Meadowlark in Moray, Glencairn in Edinburgh, Kingsmills in Inverness, and Torry, Jesmond and Cowdray in Aberdeen.
Louise Barnett, managing director at Renaissance Care, said: “Continual investment across our portfolio of homes is an important part of our role as we ensure excellent environments and standards for our residents, relatives and staff.
“It is of the upmost importance to us that our residents feel happy, secure and comfortable within their home from their private bedroom to the many shared areas where they dine, socialise and enjoy quiet time. This investment will allow us to bolster the high-quality care standards we are committed to, and we’re excited for all our people to enjoy the new spaces.”
