MHA's brand new 60 place residential and dementia Care Home in Spondon, Derbyshire. It is located on the Nottingham Road, on the spacious site of the former Angler’s Arms. Willowcroft is a purpose-built home built over two floors and designed with two wings with 30 residential places and 30 places for dementia care. Every detail of the Home’s layout and facilities is designed to enhance the independence and dignity of residents, from the mini fridges and plasma TVs with Freeview in every room to a secure garden specially landscaped for use by individuals living with dementia. All rooms come with attractive fitted furniture and some ground floor rooms are available with doors leading out on to a private patio. MHA Services Manager, Zoe McCallum, says: “We’re all very excited. Willowcroft is really very beautiful and in a good location – close to local amenities and a large Asda supermarket. And with a bus stop directly opposite, Derby city centre is a mere 10 minutes away.” Residents at Willowcroft will enjoy a wide range of activities and services. “Because MHA is a charity,” says Zoe, “as well as a varied activities programme, it is able to offer additional services. These include the pastoral care of a chaplain, together with music therapy and reflexology, which have both been shown to contribute to the well-being of individuals living with dementia.”
