All Set To Go

Residents at Willowbank Care Home, Clayton le Woods, are all set to go exploring in their new wheelchair accessible minibus , the keys of which were officially handed over today by Jim Pepper, Director of Pepper Mobility who supplied the vehicle.

Capital to purchase the minibus was made available to the Home jointly by its holding company Netley Partnerships, and through the award of a grant by Lancashire County Council in recognition of the Home’s commitment to promote the wider environment and enhance quality of life.

Thrilled to receive the keys, Michelle Darwen, Manager of Willowbank, said, ‘it’s been a really fantastic year for everyone here. We recently achieved re-accreditation with ISO 9001 for the quality of our management systems, and a high CSCI rating for the quality of care we provide; being awarded this capital grant is simply the icing on the cake. The whole team have worked closely with residents to get us where we are today. We are all delighted with this achievement and very grateful to our sponsors.’

Willowbank Care Home is known for providing care in a warm, friendly and homely environment. The minibus, which is part of its whole systems approach to maintaining independence and choice and helping people remain fit, active and healthy, will replace its older model, now in its 18th year.
