The Rookery care home in Ebbw Vale has undergone a major refurbishment as part of a significant investment designed to enhance the comfort and wellbeing of its residents.
Communal areas throughout the home – including corridors, the lounge, dining room and conservatory – have been completely transformed, bringing a fresh, modern feel to the much-loved care home. In addition, six of the bedrooms have been fully refurbished, with plans in place to upgrade the remainder on a rolling basis to ensure minimal disruption to residents.
Known for its strong community spirit, The Rookery has established deep-rooted connections with local organisations, schools and churches, helping residents maintain an active role in the wider community and enjoy a varied and fulfilling social life.
“There’s never a dull moment at The Rookery,” said Alison Boote, Operations Director at HCMS, which operates the home. “We’ve created a vibrant and engaging environment, both inside and out, that supports residents’ independence, interests and wellbeing. This refurbishment reflects our continued commitment to providing a home where people not only live but thrive.”
Residents at The Rookery enjoy a busy activities programme that caters to all tastes – from gentle exercise classes to lively karaoke afternoons and calming arts and crafts sessions. During the summer months, the home’s picturesque courtyard garden becomes the heart of the action, with its raised planters allowing residents to indulge their passion for gardening and contribute to the colourful floral displays that brighten the space.
