We are pleased to see that Weald Hall is set to see a number of positive changes as our new owners set their major rebuild plans into motion.

Weald Hall Care Home was taken over by Premium Care Group in the summer of 2022. Starting with residents’ bedrooms, sitting rooms and dining areas, significant investment in the home will see internal and external decoration works transform it into a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment.

Keeping with the upmarket theme, our home will feature a cinema room, hair salon, music room, multi sensory room, bakery, library, post office and sweet shop for residents and visitors to enjoy. With works planned to be completed in the spring, the owners plan to make the most of the large grounds and stunning rural views.

The changes will also see the management of the home transformed, with improvements being made to staff training and development and personalised care and activity programmes. We have already seen our CQC rating change from requires improvement to Good.

Robert Adams, managing director at Premium Care Group, said: “Our residents and families have given us so much positive feedback about the changes that have been made so far, and we are really looking forward to seeing the completed project.

“Our vision is to provide extraordinary care, so we will continue to invest in the beautiful building of Weald Hall, as well as training, development and recruitment. We are looking forward to welcoming the local community into Weald Hall very soon.”

Gary Wood, a resident’s son at Weald Hall, added: “My mother, Patricia, has been a resident at Weald Hall for over three years and we have seen big changes both in staff and building renovations. Both have been very positive.

“We understand that renovations can cause disruption and are pleased with the speed at which they are being done. It all looks fantastic so far. We are positive it will make the residents much more comfortable with great amenities and pleasant surroundings.

“All the staff have been exceptional with their care and attention to my mother.”
