Welcoming Natasha Irons MP to Addington Heights Care Home
We were delighted to welcome Natasha Irons, MP for Croydon East, to Addington Heights Care Home, where she spent time with residents and colleagues and heard more about our plans for the home.
The visit came two months after Eleanor took over the management of Addington Heights, one of three Croydon Council-owned care homes now managed by us. It was an opportunity to share more about our approach to quality, our plans for the home and the important role care homes can play within their local communities and the wider health and social care system.
Most importantly, the visit gave us the chance to discuss something that matters deeply to us: how care homes can remain closely connected not only to the people and families they support, but also to the wider community, healthcare professionals, local authorities and NHS partners around them.
Getting to Know Addington Heights
Since taking over the management of Addington Heights, our focus has been on getting to know the home, its residents, families and colleagues, while understanding how we can build on the care already being provided.
During her visit, Natasha met residents and members of our team and heard more about our ambitions for Addington Heights and our approach to delivering high-quality, person-centred care.
We want Addington Heights to be a place where residents feel comfortable, supported and connected and where families can feel confident that their loved ones are receiving compassionate care.
Being an active part of the New Addington and wider Croydon community is an important part of that. We want our care homes to build meaningful relationships with families, community organisations, healthcare professionals and other local partners, helping residents remain connected to the communities around them.
