Nottingham is getting a £10m new care home which includes a Sky Bar with far-reaching views, a vintage tearoom and a cinema room with its very own popcorn machine.
The luxury care home is opening in May and will care for up to 66 older people and employ over 50 staff.
Ideal Carehomes’ Rivendell View has spacious ensuite bedrooms and the latest care technology, as well as large, open plan social areas and ultra-wide corridors and an on-site beauty parlour for residents to receive regular treatments such as haircuts, chiropody appointments and manicures.
There are landscaped gardens where residents will be able to attend regular gardening clubs.
Manager of the home, Samantha Kavanagh, said: “‘I am extremely excited to soon be able to open the doors of our beautiful home. Our future residents will benefit so much from our facilities and the full and varied social programme organised by our activities co-ordinators. We have had such an overwhelming response so far from local people, for both the first phase of recruitment and from prospective residents. I can’t wait to support our new residents to live life to the full as part of the Rivendell View community.
“Everything we do at Rivendell View will put us at the forefront of care and with the established Ideal Carehomes team and policies behind us too, we have all we need to ensure the continued wellbeing of our residents and staff. The brand new build allows us to be completely on top of infection control from the very start and the large social spaces give us the means to social distance with ease.”
The newly appointed staff team are set to complete a thorough induction period prior to the home opening and will be given access to industry-leading training and development via the ‘Ideal Academy’.
Stacey Linn, managing director at Ideal Carehomes, said: “The care and attention to detail is clear throughout the home - all our care homes are built with the facilities required to offer the quality of life and independence to our residents. Rivendell View is our 24th care home and with Samantha at the helm, I have every confidence that our newest home will be a wonderful addition to the Nottingham community.”
The care home is hosting an exclusive preview day on 8 May (adhering to current government guidelines) which will provide an opportunity for people to explore the facilities and learn more about the Rivendell View lifestyle, as well as a chance to ask the team any questions about Ideal Carehomes and their initiatives. The open day is from 11am -3pm, there is no need to book, and guests will receive complimentary refreshments and a goody bag.
