Frome Nursing Home, a specialist dementia nursing and residential care provider, has been commended by local MP David Warburton for creating their own solution to the care funding crisis.
The group that supports the home, Evolve Care Group, has set up a subsidy fund of £100,000 in order to help local people afford the care they need and deserve.
Home manager at Frome Nursing Home, Maggie Rhodes, told us, “We want to provide love and care to everyone that needs it. Our subsidy fund will allow those currently stuck at home or in hospital to access our specialist services at a cost that they can afford.
“The team at Frome Nursing Home have implemented a cutting edge new model of person-centred dementia care. This is having an amazing impact on the lives of people living with dementia and we want lots of people to benefit from these advances.”
Frome’s newly re-elected MP, David Warburton, recently met with colleagues from Frome Nursing Home to hear more about their new funding solution and to offer his support.
He said, “The current crisis in funding for social care is an issue that urgently needs addressing and it is brilliant to see that Frome Nursing Home are doing their own bit to help ease the costs of care.”
The MP is currently planning a visit to the nursing home, located on Styles Hill in Frome. He plans to meet with some of the people living there and see first-hand the fantastic care that is being provided, as well as viewing the newly-refurbished residences.
