Over 100 guests, including the Mayor of Bath Councillor Dine Romero, were invited to experience Hallmark Midford Manor, a new, 80 bed, residential, dementia and nursing home on Frome Road. Local businesses and care professionals alike were encouraged to tickle their tastebuds, enjoy demonstrations from some of the home’s 80 new team members and view their facilities which include 14 luxurious suites, forming part of a unique retirement living offering called The Residences. Residents who live at The Residences have access to a premium suite with a kitchenette and exclusive amenities, such as a cocktail bar, fine dining restaurant with a grand piano and nearby finishing kitchen and concierge services. Other features at the home include a sensory room to support residents living with dementia, a craft room, and celebrations area which will be used for family gatherings and special events. Meanwhile outside there is a summer house, gardening club area with raised planters, and a little one’s play area to be used by visiting grandchildren and St Martin’s Garden Primary School next door.

The afternoon event was concluded by speeches and a performance from a string quartet. Commissioning manager at Hallmark Midford Manor Jenny Mann said: “We had a fabulous time, introducing our new home to the Bath community and 80 dedicated team members, who are passionate about supporting residents to thrive in later life. “Much thought and consideration has gone into Midford Manor to help residents live active, independent and fulfilled lives.
