Name that care home! Local community invited to name newest care home in Cardiff

Cardiff residents are being invited to name a new care home in their local area – with the chance of winning a £250 cash prize.

Care UK, which is building a new care home, on Ty Draw Road in Cardiff, is calling on local history enthusiasts and Cardiff natives for a name that will reflect the uniqueness of the area.   

 

The community is being encouraged to share their suggestions based on Cardiff’s history, places or famous locals. Should their entry make the cut, the winner of the home naming competition will receive £250 – and the satisfaction of naming a new building in their area. Furthermore, to tie the home more closely to its local heritage, the name must be in Welsh*. 

Bev Kennard, Development Project Manager at Care UK, said: “Here at Care UK, all of our homes are named after things, people and places that are part of local history to reflect our desire to anchor ourselves in the local community, while giving future residents an opportunity to reminisce about the area. 

“We’re excited to hear what the community thinks our new Cardiff care home should be called. The city is rich in history and I’m sure locals have countless stories to tell. Whether you think the home should be named after a famous resident or local historic site – please send us your suggestions.”

To share your ideas, please visit careuk.com/care-homes/cardiff/home-naming-competition and explain the meaning behind your suggested home names. 

Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, the new care home, which is set to open in Spring 2023, will incorporate space for hobby and leisure activities. The layout of the building will be configured into a series of individual suites, each having a dedicated lounge/dining room to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities.

*English home name suggestions will be accepted, and translated into Welsh if selected as the winning name.
