A residential and nursing care home in Halstead has entered a positive new chapter, supported by residents who helped choose the new name, with Cedars Place becoming Weavers Grange.
Under the ownership of Stow Healthcare, the change follows an extensive programme of refurbishment with renewed focus on resident wellbeing and meaningful activities. Importantly, residents voted for the new name, reflecting the home’s commitment to keeping residents at the heart of everything it does.
Kay Cox, Chief Executive Officer of Stow Healthcare, added: “Our focus has been on creating a home where residents feel valued. Seeing residents involved in the naming process has been incredibly positive and reflects the culture we are building.”
The name reflects Halstead’s historic links to the weaving and textile industries, while “Grange” evokes a sense of home, stability and belonging, values that residents felt strongly represented their home.
While the name has changed, the home continues to provide the same high-quality residential and nursing care, delivered by a dedicated and experienced team. Residents benefit from a varied programme of activities, refurbished communal spaces and an environment designed to promote comfort and independence.
Hazel Dockrell, Home Manager at Weavers Grange, said: “This has been about far more than a new name. Listening to our residents and involving them in decisions about their home is central to how we provide care. Weavers Grange truly reflects the community within these walls.”
The new name takes effect immediately, with updated signage now in place. Residents, families and professional partners have been fully informed to ensure continuity and clarity.
