Select Lifestyles, a leading specialist care provider based in West Bromwich, has announced plans to open a new day care centre this October.
The Throne Road site, located in Rowley Regis, will join Select Lifestyles’ array of other properties which are used to provide high-quality care and support to around 175 clients.
The site has undergone a transformation, to become a specially designed centre for those with learning disabilities and complex needs. It will house approximately 19 clients at first, with the number set to grow.
Mood Interiors have designed the day care centre. Their changes include the widening of doors and corridors; the installation of ramps; the fitting of extensive plumbing work to make space for more bathrooms and wet rooms; the installation of an inclusive Kitchen with different workspace levels suitable for all clients; and the fitting of a specially designed quiet room, outdoor courtyard, music and arts and crafts room. Throughout the house, specially picked colours have been chosen to ensure those with visual impairments will not be affected. These adaptations form a part of a wider £100k investment.
The sensory room, designed and fitted out by Rhino UK: Making Sense of Sense, will be a marking feature of the house. The room will give clients the opportunity to enhance their learning through occupational therapy and entertainment helping to improve physical and cognitive skills.
Nick Horton, Managing Director of Select Lifestyles, commented: “We are so excited to announce the opening of our new site at Throne Road. This has been a wonderful opportunity, reflective of the exciting growth Select Lifestyles has seen in the last year.”
“Most importantly, we cannot wait to see in the coming months, the site become a centre and a hub for our existing and new clients. The installation of the specially designed new sensory room is a particularly exciting prospect. The benefits these rooms provide for our clients can often be life-changing.”
There will be a day to celebrate the opening of the new Throne Road day care site and the continued expansion of Select Lifestyles in October. Local authorities, clients and their families, local children, and staff at Select Lifestyles will be welcomed to this celebration.
