TV actress Tamzin Outhwaite officially opens Enable Care Sewardstone Close 10th May 2011
Enable Care celebrated the official opening of its home, 1 Sewardstone Close, on Tuesday 10 May.
Former Eastenders and Hotel Babylon star Tamzin Outhwaite officially opened the unit in Sewardstone, Waltham Abbey. Tamzin had a full tour of the home and spent time talking with the residents and their families. She was very impressed with the facilities and even compared them to that of a hotel!
The event was timed to coincide with National Brain Injury Week, an occasion to raise awareness of brain injury and its devastating effects. The staff, residents and relatives will be fundraising on Saturday 14 May with a ‘bring and buy’ sale, Wii competition, cake bake, quiz and a BBQ.
Enable Care prides itself on offering a real alternative to continuing hospital based care, believing that the care should be personalised and always come closer to the resident and their families.
The purpose built facility in Sewardstone offers a bright, modern and spacious accommodation for its small number of residents. The team delivers therapies by incorporating rehabilitation in everyday living to enable the residents to gain as much out of their lives as possible.
Enable Care’s 1 Sewardstone Close provides long term, interim and respite services for people who have complex physical and nursing needs including diminished levels of consciousness, seizure activity, artificial feeding and tracheotomy; along with people who are in need of slow stream rehabilitation, whose physical and cognitive needs require ongoing support and guidance to ensure they maintain any gains they have previously made.
The well-equipped unit boasts several spacious lounges, a gym, spa suite, sensory room and a large outdoor area for recreational activities and relaxation.
Keith Hawley, Director of Enable Care, says: “We are delighted to have celebrated the official opening of 1 Sewarsdtone Close with residents, family and staff. We are also thrilled that Tamzin Outhwaite was here to kick off the celebrations. We have had a great response since we opened in November and we will continue to be committed to providing outstanding care for our residents. It is also a wonderful opportunity to raise money for National Brain Injury Week, which is a great cause”
