Parkhaven Court – another new venture

Next month, Parkhaven Court opens on our Liverpool Road site, in Maghull. Parkhaven Court is a 24 apartment extra care housing scheme. It is a joint venture between Arena Housing, Sefton Council and Parkhaven Trust. This is another plank in the modernisation programme for the Trust and another first for us. Now the Trust will provide care to these extra care apartments.

An extra care scheme is a housing arrangement with 24 hour care available. There are 12 one and 12 two bedroom flats, all on the ground floor all with French doors on to a small garden area. There is also a large enclosed court yard, a communal lounge, kitchen and a small IT and library area. There is a hairdressing room and a bathroom with a special bath. Weekly activities such as coffee mornings, afternoon tea and shopping trips will take place. Our hope is that it will be a happy and safe place to live which will promote people’s independence and choice for longer.
It is a scheme specifically for older people with dementia. It also has the great gift of being in a beautiful parkland setting.

If you want to find out more, visit the Parkhaven Court page of the website, or email us at care@parkhaven.org.uk.

Next week the joys of walking!

New Website Launched

This week we launched our new website. We hope that it provides all the information someone accessing the site would want. We hope it is easy to use and clear. So if you want to find a service for you, or a relative, it should tell you who to contact. Or if you want to work for the Trust, it will tell you the jobs that are currently vacant. The site also has new a volunteer page. Read what Jenny has to say about volunteering at Parkhaven.

Parkhaven Trust is a rapidly evolving organisation so the site will be regularly updated. However, if there is information that you would like to be on the site, that is not currently incorporated, please email care@parkhaven.org.uk and we will do our best to try and include it.

Next week we will report on the progress of Parkhaven Court, the new extra care housing for people with dementia.
