🛠️ Maintenance within the Home

Ongoing maintenance work is taking place across the home:

• 🚪 Fire door works are being carried out throughout the building, which may cause temporary disruption during visits.
• 🛏️ Room upgrades are in progress, with improvements being completed on a rolling basis, one room at a time, to minimise disruption.

👥 Staffing & Community
