Lincolnshire’s largest private care home provider has opened a new residential care facility in Boston after a six-month refurbishment.

Tanglewood Care Homes has established Forget-Me-Not Court – a 16-bed courtyard wing at Hunters Creek care home on London Road.

The garden wing, which in recent months has undergone a complete renovation, is for the more discerning residents who are looking for an active retirement in homely surroundings with the support of Tanglewood’s award-winning carers.

Forget-Me-Not Court residents who make the wing their home can expect extra benefits as part of their overall care package.

Director and founder of Tanglewood Care Homes, Tracy Ann Shelbourn, commented: “Forget-Me-Not Court aims to be the best residential care community in the county in terms of its facilities, social activities, décor and furnishings.

“It is perfect for older people who are still young at heart and seek an active retirement in comfortable and peaceful surroundings.”

Residents at Forget-Me-Not Court will enjoy:  

• Top-of-the-range beds with pressure-relieving mattresses
• TV and en-suite in each room
• Membership to the Forget-Me-Not Court social club
• Several social areas including a courtyard lounge and its own themed bistro/dining area
• Care concierge to make residents’ stay more comfortable and personalised
• Skype facility to keep in touch with family and friends
• Activities and hobbies programme tailored to Forget-Me-Not Court residents only
• Hair and manicure salon

To add a personal touch, each bedroom has a different colour scheme. Tanglewood has worked with an artist to provide new, personalised murals throughout the wing.

Forget-Me-Not Court will be led by Dupe Adewuyi, Home Manager of Hunters Creek care home. Hunters Creek was rated ‘Good’ in its latest CQC inspection and provides nursing and dementia care as well as residential care.  

Dupe said: “It’s exciting and pleasing that we’ve reached the point where we can show off what a fantastic facility Forget-Me-Not Court is. The garden wing has been designed in such a way as to ensure residents feel part of a community.

“Forget-Me-Not Court is designed for people with low care needs, and my team is fully trained and prepared not only to make sure the residents are safe but also to maintain a high standard of living for the duration of their stay.”

Forget-Me-Not Court is set to be formally opened by the Mayor of Boston, Councillor Judith Skinner, on 14^th September 2018 at 2.30pm. The event will be open to Tanglewood residents and members of the local community.

Tanglewood is set to open a new 72-bed care home in Lincoln early next year.
