Local nursing home launches new community names amid refurbishment

Steeton Court Nursing Home recently unveiled new community names to reflect the recent extensive refurbishments at the home. Residents actively participated in the selection process, casting their votes through the home’s Weekly Newsletter, social media platforms, and the homes innovative “Tiny Tablet” – a large, accessible mobile tablet designed for care homes.

Previously known as Branwell, Charlotte, Emily, and Heathcliff, the communities have been renamed Devonshire, Harewood, and Cavendish, following the theme ‘Country Estates’.

“We’re thrilled to unveil the new community names at Steeton Court,” said Steven Spellman, Director of Spellman Care. “Resident engagement is incredibly important to us, and we’re delighted they played such an active role in choosing names that resonate with them. The new names perfectly complement the recent refurbishment, creating a fresh and welcoming atmosphere for all.”

The refurbishment project at Steeton Court encompasses a variety of upgrades, including modernized lounges, hallways, and a new state of the art salon. The focus of the project is to create an even more comfortable and enriching environment that caters to the individual needs and preferences of residents.

The next stage of the project will see the former Charlotte (now Cavendish) dining room expanded to create a larger space for residents to socialize over their meals.
