“This investment has brought a fresh feel to the living environment, ensuring our residents continue to feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home.”

“I enjoy spending time in the lounge with everyone, so it’s nice to see it have a facelift.”
Councillor Edwards praised the transformation and the home’s commitment to residents.
She said: “An investment of this scale not only enhances the lives of those living and working here but also demonstrates a significant commitment to our local community.
“It’s clear that Queensmount provides exceptional care, and these new facilities will only further enrich the experience for everyone.”
