A new care home has opened its doors for previews in Reading.

Barchester Healthcare's latest development, Stoneham Grove in Tilehurst, is now welcoming visitors for show rounds.

The home will soon provide person-centred residential, dementia, and respite care.

The home includes gardens, a café, spa bathrooms, en-suite bedrooms with smart TVs, lounges and an in-house hair salon.

The facility aims to provide a 'premium caring experience' by getting to know each resident individually and tailoring care and support accordingly.

The home, once fully operational, will also include a life enrichment programme, offering a range of daily activities.

The programme is designed to cater to all tastes and abilities, ensuring that residents can continue to enjoy their favourite hobbies and try new ones.

Jodie Lunnon, general manager, said: "We are thrilled our stunning new home is ready to welcome visitors.

"It’s a wonderful way for people to come and find out about the exceptional care we provide, and meet the friendly team who will be looking after our residents.

"Personalised care really is at the heart of everything we do, and we are looking forward to meeting all our neighbours and building new friendships within the local community."

Barchester Healthcare supports more than 13,000 residents in 262 homes and hospitals across the UK.

They have also be named the winner of the Royal Society for the Preventation of Accidents Health and Safety award for the healthcare sector, for its contribution to occupational health and safety.
