Care centre grows with Barclays investment
A care centre in Warwickshire has received funding from Barclays Corporate so it can expand its care services for the elderly.
Bentley House received the undisclosed funding to develop a rehabilitation unit at its centre in Bentley near Atherstone.
The unit consists of four bedrooms as well as a nurse's station, wet room and exercise area. Following the closure of Bramcote Hospital, the business was awarded a contract from the Primary Care Trust to offer rehabilitation care for people who have recently undergone surgery or recovering from a debilitating illness.
The centre, which was opened in 1991, offers nursing care for 50 people including a specialist dementia unit offering beds for nine and employs 64 staff.
Dr Phillip Bellamy, owner of Bentley House said: "The new funding has allowed us to expand our offering by developing a new unit rehabilitation unit for the local community. Our relationship with Barclays Corporate and their "can do" approach is valued and continues to be an important part of our future growth."
