Esther Rantzen Opens Hartwood House

Esther Rantzen has officially opened Hartwood House in Lyndhurst, Hampshire, a purpose-designed care home fully equipped to provide residential care, dementia care and nursing, all under one roof.   The launch was attended by Cllr Christine Ford, Chairman of the New Forest District Council as well as representatives from many of the area’s clubs and societies.  Flowers were presented to Ms Rantzen by children of the local primary school, St Michael and All Angels C of E School.

Guests were able to see first hand the extraordinary attention to detail that has dictated the design of Hartwood House courtesy of Hartford Care employees who acted as knowledgeable tour guides led by home manager, Wendy Walsh.

Hartwood House is the product of the wealth of experience accrued by Hartford Care through the success of its existing care homes.  The Company recognise that the prospect of moving to a care home can be quite daunting both for older people and their families.  However, in a recent survey undertaken at two of its care homes, it would appear that once that initial step is taken, life gets better and easier.

88% said that they had not looked forward to moving into a care home before choosing Hartford Care
90% said that having made the move, they are happy and enjoy living in a Hartford Care home
92% said as a result of the move they have made new friends and expanded their social activities

For more information or to arrange a viewing at Hartwood House please call Wendy, the Care Home Manager on 023 8028 4555 or email: wendy.walsh@hartfordcare.co.uk
