DOWNHAM MARKET: Care home’s civic opening
Downham Grange Care Home offical opening of the North Wing by Mayor of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Geoffrey Wareham
Staff at Downham’s Grange Care Home welcomed borough mayor Geoffrey Wareham to unveil their new purpose-built premises this week.
Mr Wareham was surrounded by staff and residents when he cut the ribbon on Monday.
Manager Helen Forsyth said: “It’s a completely new build. So far we have the north and south wings which we will move into today, then the old building will be demolished to create a garden.
“It’s really exciting. All of our equipment in the new building is state-of-the-art.”
She added: “The residents have all been looking forward to moving into their new home. They’ve spent all week packing their things up.
“They have all been a part of the project.
“They’ve been watching it grow around them and have made sure to keep updated on the progress by the builders.”
