Downham Grange<br />

State of the art, loving care in Downham Market<br />

Welcome to Downham Grange Care Home, a striking new<br />

purpose-built development in Downham Market.<br />

We provide meaningful person-centred exceptional care for those in<br />

need of residential, respite, nursing or dementia care.<br />

Boasting 62 en-suite bedrooms, the home has<br />

been finished to the most luxurious standards,<br />

with extra-wide corridors, a variety of large<br />

spacious and comfortable lounges and dining<br />

rooms with kitchenette areas that help to promote<br />

independence and social inclusion.<br />

The home has been designed to meet the needs<br />

of people who require nursing and dementia<br />

care. This exciting new development meets our<br />

Kingsley care ethos, responding to individual<br />

needs and providing the highest standards of care.<br />

Like all Kingsley Healthcare Homes, our care is<br />

focused around each person’s individual needs and<br />

wishes. We value and respect how each person<br />

chooses to spend their day.<br />

Our strong ethos of person-centred care runs<br />

through everything we do. Our staff are all highly<br />

experienced and receive on-going training to make<br />

sure that we deliver only the very best quality care.<br />

We really want to make a difference<br />

to the lives of the people we care for.<br />

With this in mind we have built the<br />

home to the highest specifications,<br />

giving particular consideration<br />

to making the design and layout<br />

suitable for people living with a<br />

dementia.<br />

This new home will enable us to<br />

continue to provide high-quality<br />

surroundings and environment. It<br />

will ensure our staff deliver quality<br />

of service and improve the quality of<br />

life of our residents every day.<br />

The staff at Downham Grange go<br />

that extra mile to make the home<br />

feel comfortable and relaxed. We<br />

like Downham Grange to feel like<br />

a ‘home from home’. We encourage<br />

people to take part in the daily living<br />

activities as well as other ongoing<br />

activities that take place throughout<br />

the day.<br />

“It took me just a few<br />

days to feel at home<br />

because the staff are<br />

so welcoming and<br />

caring”<br />

From the Mayor’s Parlour<br />

I had the pleasure of going to see Aladdin at Stanley’s this<br />

month, it was a very good show, Stanleys’s is a good venue<br />

for plays or shows and it was nice to see it being used again.<br />

I have attended a number of events as Mayor this<br />

month including the opening of the Mart in King’s Lynn,<br />

where we paraded down the high street in King’s Lynn,<br />

with lots of other dignitaries and the sun shining all the<br />

way. As Town and District Councillor I have attended 32<br />

meetings and 4 visits to see people at home.<br />

The MUGA and Skate park projects are going to start<br />

to be built in April, Days field is being advertised for<br />

sale. The next main projects for the Town are the<br />

refurbishment of the Buttercross and the Toilets.<br />

Talking about the toilets we have had more incidents<br />

of vandalism and mess inside which has to be dealt<br />

with by Town Council staff, not a nice job, so if you<br />

see anyone doing this in the Town please call the<br />

Police as this behaviour is costing us all money.<br />

The War Memorial has had an uplift, the bricks<br />

around the base have all been replaced and<br />

repainted, our thanks to Balfour Beatty and Travis<br />

Perkins for completing and sponsoring these works.<br />

The neighbourhood plan is now in full swing, 5 groups<br />

have been set-up and some have met. If you would<br />

like to join any group, please call in at the Town Hall.<br />

The Market has a new auction which has been very<br />

busy over the last few weeks, come and have a bid it<br />

starts at 11am on Saturdays. The Market Committee<br />

has also been considering several ways to update<br />

and improve the fooall of our market and Town<br />

Centre. New ideas include a car boot section in the<br />

pit and looking at the layout of the market. There may<br />

be more opportunities to have an indoor market in<br />

the Assembly rooms on a Saturday and the shops in<br />

Plowright Place will be organising events in the year<br />

with stalls and entertainment in that area. All these<br />

initiatives will make <strong>Swaffham</strong> Town Centre an even<br />

more interesting and pleasant place to shop and visit.<br />
