We are proud to launch a complete transformation at our Heritage Care Home in Tooting.
We are excited to announce the completion of extensive refurbishments at our Heritage Care Home. This project embodies our relentless pursuit of excellence, ensuring a warm, welcoming, and homely environment for both our residents and staff.
Annelli Chatfield, Group Commissioning Manager at Maria Mallaband Care Group, expressed her enthusiasm about the transformation: "Our team was tasked with elevating the homes environment with the design principles of a new build home. In order to complete this we involved our Interior Designer and worked with the Operations Team to both meet the needs of the home as it is but offer an exciting and enabling setting for the future. "We updated the furniture, décor and lighting to create a warm and homely atmosphere while maintaining functionality. Handrails and flooring were installed to improve wayfinding and enhance mobility, and we created gardens and social rooms to support peoples emotional well-being using a sensitive colour palette consistently throughout the design."
Heritage Home Manager, O'Shein Marie Salazar, shared her excitement: "The refurbishment has taken Heritage to a whole new level, creating an atmosphere that’s not only more welcoming but also deeply homely. As a result, we’ve seen a notable increase in private enquiries."
Residents have shared their delight with the new environment: Paul: "It's very clever and homely, I like it!" Michael: "Yes, it is very nice, smart looking."
Our staff have also felt the positive impact on their daily working environment. Hospitality Manager, Nicole Gasoc, noted: "The hair salon has been one of the most popular parts of the refurbishment amongst the people who live with us as they enjoy going there on Wednesdays to get their hair done. Reception looks fab as well with the tables and chairs, visitors now have somewhere to lounge in while waiting."
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making this refurbishment project a reality. We look forward to sharing more updates as we complete the work at The Devonshire and Deepdene. Come visit us and experience the new and improved Heritage Care Home, part of the Maria Mallaband Care Group family!
