CARE HOME’S GRAND OPENING IN PENSBY
Guests gathered in the glorious sunshine for the official
opening of a beautiful new Sanctuary Care home in Pensby.
Ridgewood Court Residential Care Home in Ridgewood Drive
was declared open by its very first resident Vera Grant, who cut
the ribbon at the ceremony, along with the Deputy Mayor of
Wirral, Councillor Geoffrey Watt.
Guests were given a guided tour of the stunning home, which
provides residential and residential dementia care, as well
enjoying live music from a guitarist and jazz pianist, followed by
a mouth-watering buffet.
Speaking about cutting the ribbon at the event, Vera, who has
a floor at the home named after her said: “I felt flattered to be
asked and the staff here at Ridgewood made it a very special day.
“I am very happy at the home - it was a big move but the staff
have made me feel very welcome and made my first day extra
special.”
Councillor Geoffrey Watt said: ‘The Deputy Mayoress and
I were delighted to be invited to the opening of Ridgewood
Court Residential Care Home in Pensby, to meet some of the
first residents and be shown around by the manager, staff and
directors from Sanctuary Care. We were really impressed by the
design of the building and the facilities it offers, which we are
certain will be appreciated by residents and their families for
many years to come.”

Chris Poole, Sanctuary Care’s Director of Business Development
added: “It was an honour to meet our residents, who have settled
into their new home so quickly, as well as the fantastic team. The
occasion was extra special because Ridgewood Court is the first
home that we have opened this year, in what is Sanctuary Care’s
20th anniversary of delivering care to our residents – a double
celebration indeed.”
Ridgewood Court is beautifully decorated and furnished
throughout and features 60 spacious en-suite bedrooms, light
and airy open plan lounge and dining areas and an on-site café.
It also boasts a boutique shop, hairdressing and beauty salon, a
themed cinema room and Wi-Fi.
The team and residents will be looking forward to inviting people
from the local community along to see the home for themselves
and will be holding a variety of events throughout the year - so
watch this space.
Meanwhile, the home opened its doors to people from the
local community for a royal themed Care Home Open Day
celebration, to tie in with The Queen’s birthday, with more than
200 guests attending.
