Almost 100 people took up the invite to get a glimpse inside a new £12m care home on the Rivendell Estate off Colwick Loop Road before its first residents move in.
The new £12m home, situated on Magenta Way, hosted its official open day and received a very warm welcome from local artists who generously donated paintings and other works of art to display around the home.
One local artist who attended the open day bearing a touching housewarming gift of a portrait of the local woodlands which he presented to home manager, Samantha Kavanagh.
Samantha said: “The response from the local community has been overwhelming, I am very grateful to the community for their many ‘home warming’ gifts – they are all taking pride of place in our home for our future residents to see and appreciate.”
During the open day, local people were able to get their first glimpse of the luxurious care home which has been under construction for nearly a year.
Nearly 100 local people visited the home, adhering to current government guidelines.
Samantha, said, “I am thrilled our preview day was such a success. It was a pleasure to meet so many wonderful people from around our community. I look forward to welcoming our first residents and assisting them to live the next chapter of their lives to the fullest!’.
The team say they have been delighted to have such a warm welcome from the community, with many housewarming gifts being delivered throughout the day including interesting artwork for the walls, sculptures and even art kits for residents to use once they move in. As a token of their gratitude, the Rivendell View team say they plan to host monthly art classes taught by local artists once restrictions allow.
Rivendell View is due to welcome its first residents in the next couple of weeks.
