Aurem Care has invested more than £500,000 in the refurbishment of its Kilburn Care Home located in Belper, near Derby.

The project will bring 10 new beds to the local care provision and create more than 20 new jobs.

The refurbished Kilburn Care Home will feature a layout designed to enhance accessibility and freedom of movement for residents. A number of suites will offer patio access, leading to a safe and secure garden space. All new suites feature an en suite wet room.

The refurbishment includes the introduction of a heating solution designed to look like a traditional skirting board, which aims to eliminate the risks of heat and tissue damage associated with traditional radiators and also allows maximised use of space for residents. The home has also been fitted with a new call safety and support system.

Amy Weston, home manager at Kilburn Care Home, said: “This significant investment not only enhances our facility aesthetically and functionally, but also elevates the standard of care we can provide. The introduction of the ‘thermaskirt’ and the thoughtful design of our outdoor spaces are testament to our commitment to the health, safety, and happiness of our residents.”
