Last Friday, Primrose Cruise Lines set sail for Rome! Bringing all the sights, sounds and flavours of Italy to our residents.

The day started with cappuccino coffees and an Italian for beginners lesson, Bonjourno! The home was decorated with flags, bunting and our very own Michelangelo’s David.

This was followed by VR Headset tours of St Peters Basilica, the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum.

New roles have also been created, with a new full time Activities Coordinator and Maintenance and Housekeeping team.

Primrose Bank has also been investing heavily in new technologies so it is at the forefront of health care, with Superfast WiFi fitted throughout the home, to prepare the home for future developments into ‘Tele-health’, improvements in electronic care planning systems and soon the creation of an internet cafe for residents, staff and visitors.

The work does not stop there, with further assisted bathrooms being refurbished in the New Year, along with the creation of a new Hair Salon.

The extension of the dining room is part of a larger extension to the entire home. We are adding 20 new en suite rooms, taking the home to 45 bedrooms. As part of this work, we have already installed a new state of the art laundry, fire alarm system and nurse call system. We have just finished work on a new bathroom with luxury assisted bathing system. Our car park has also been extended and all our gardens landscaped and paved with level access throughout the home. All our new rooms will be completed by mid November, and we are now taking names for them, some of which can be chosen of plan and customised with your choice of colour scheme.
