EVESHAM’s MP Nigel Huddleston was on hand to declare the care floor of the luxury retirement village at Wood Norton open and unveiled a commemorative plaque outside the entrance to the floor to mark the momentous occasion.
The local MP also received a tour of the new village with Richmond Villages managing director Philippa Fieldhouse and village manager Paul Brady and enjoyed meeting and talking to the village team and residents about what life at Richmond Villages Wood Norton is like.
The care floor is the latest addition to the retirement village, which opened in March 2019 and already boasts a range of independent living apartments and assisted living suites, which come with a lifestyle package that takes care of meals, housekeeping, laundry and utility bills.
Now open, the 60 bed care floor will tend to the care needs of the frail and elderly living in Worcestershire, as well as those living with dementia.
“I have been impressed by the attention to detail here at Richmond Wood Norton,” Mr Huddleston said.
“Everything from the layout of rooms and décor, to the activities programme, facilities and level of care offered is astounding. I think the people of Evesham and surrounding areas are extremely fortunate to have this on their doorstep, now open and fully operational.”
Mr Brady added: “We’ve had a fantastic start to the year as a brand new retirement village in the area and the addition of the care floor has topped off this success. It’s brilliant to be able to showcase our village to our local MP and are thrilled to hear such positive feedback from him and all of our new residents.”
