It was a real pleasure to help unveil a new Chatty Bench at Priors Hall Care Home with resident, Harry, as well as open the new ‘Steeltown’ floor community last week, alongside the lovely staff, residents and their families. The Chatty Bench is a great concept, designed to combat loneliness and can be a huge boost to community mental wellbeing, and I know the staff at Priors Hall Care Home have been working incredibly hard to make the place an even more comfortable, safe and friendly environment for residents, their families and friends, as more new residents continue to move in over the coming weeks. There are some fantastic facilities there and the home is looking brilliant - and it has received a very positive inspection rating in recent weeks, which reflects the hard work that has gone on. I was glad to hear from residents that they are already settling in well and enjoying their new home - the ‘Steeltown’ floor name is a great nod to our town’s proud history, and it was a pleasure to be a part of this special day of celebration at Priors Hall – thank you for inviting me to be a part of it!
