Signature launch great fun
Posted by Lil Lou on 15-01-2010
Yesterday saw the grand opening of South Lodge, the latest state-of-the-art care home from Signature Senior Lifestyle - and what an evening it was!
When Mark, Nick and I arrived in Leicester just before two - having stopped off for a yummy fry-up en route - the staff were rushing around putting the finishing touches on everything.
There were at least three hoovers on the go to ensure the place was spick and span, and carers were busy learning their lines for the guided tours or making sure the wine, juice and bubbly were all in place.
We got to take a sneaky early tour, and I have to say the place was lovely - you could blindfold someone and take them to the reception, and they would swear they were in a hotel!
And from the huge apartments through the little touches on the dementia floor that helps the residents easily find their bearings, everything at South Lodge was really well thought out.
When the opening itself came round, 120 locals, dignitaries and future residents arrived to get a first look at the place. There were some touching and amusing speeches, followed by the ribbon cutting - and then the delicious buffet! Filled us up nicely for the long journey home - handy because the greasy spoon was shut by then!
