19. Methodist Homes for the Aged (MHA)∞ Planning permission was grantedfor the partial demolition andredevelopment <strong>of</strong> Granary House,one <strong>of</strong> our care homes in Whitstable,Kent. Building work has begun tocreate a new residential, nursing andspecialist dementia care home whichwill become home to the currentcommunity at Cliff Dene during 2010.∞ Planning permission is to be soughtfor the redevelopment <strong>of</strong> HatherlowHouse, a small residential care homein Southport, which became part <strong>of</strong>MHA last year. The decision to closethe home was made in March 2009with residents moving to alternativeMHA homes in Southport or Bolton, orother chosen homes.∞ Homewood in Leamington Spabecame part <strong>of</strong> MHA in 1952, thebuilding having previously been aprivate house and then a hotel. Forsome time we have explored possibleschemes for developing a new homeon the current site, but this has notproved possible. Now we are delightedthat the site <strong>of</strong> the former AbbacourtHotel in Leamington Spa is beingredeveloped as a care home for MHAwhich will open early in 2010.∞ Plans are in hand for theredevelopment <strong>of</strong> Alexandra Housein Dovercourt, Essex which datesfrom Edwardian times, and has beenan MHA home since 1962. Theredevelopment will see an increasein the number <strong>of</strong> residents and theprovision <strong>of</strong> nursing and dementiacare services.∞ We completed the purchase <strong>of</strong>Paganell Grange, Newport Pagnell,Buckinghamshire from Extra CareCharitable Trust, and have begunthe work <strong>of</strong> extending the building toprovide a dementia care wing.∞ A major programme <strong>of</strong> refurbishmenthas been carried out at WillersleyHouse in Hull. This is another longstandingMHA home where the buildingpre-dates its life as a care home. Aswell as redecoration and recarpetting,all <strong>of</strong> the residential rooms have beenupgraded with improved access and<strong>of</strong>ten increasing their size. A similarprogramme has begun at Starr Hills inLytham St Annes.∞ As reported last year, we recognisethat for many <strong>of</strong> those living in ourhousing schemes, the provision <strong>of</strong>extra facilities and services wouldincrease the likelihood <strong>of</strong> thembeing able to live in the schemesfor longer and preclude the need forthem to move into residential care. Aconsultation exercise with residents,relatives and local authorities hasbeen carried out in 12 schemes witha view to them becoming housingwith care schemes, where a 24-hourcare service will be provided by MHAstaff. The response so far has beenpositive and work is underway tomake the necessary changes to thebuildings to allow the new serviceto begin. In housing schemes wheresuch changes are not possible, we arecontinuing to explore the provision <strong>of</strong>additional services including laundry,shopping and cleaning.140 Methodist Conference Agenda 2009
