Attendees will be able to review the refurbishment proposals, ask questions, share any thoughts or suggestions, and find out more about the project timeline and the expected benefits for residents and the community.
Members of the project team will be on hand throughout to provide updates and answer queries.

Works due to begin in autumn
Approval to proceed with the refurbishment programme was given at the January Council meeting, with initial works scheduled to begin in the autumn. The project will deliver a modern, fully compliant 20 bed care facility supporting enhanced residential, nursing and respite care.
Plans include larger en suite bedrooms, improved internal circulation, and upgraded outdoor spaces designed to better support people with higher levels of need, including those living with dementia.

“We’re delighted to be taking the next steps in our plans to transform Deanfield. The improvements we’re proposing will bring huge benefits for residents and ensure the home continues to offer the very best care and support.
“This engagement session is the first of many that will take place throughout the project as part of our commitment to making sure residents, families and the wider community feel fully involved in the journey. I’d encourage anyone with an interest in Deanfield to come along, explore the proposals and share their thoughts with the team as we take this important project forward.”
