Solihull care home renamed Blossomfield Grange by residents and team members

A care home in Solihull has been renamed by residents and team members following completion of its new management earlier this year. 

Blossomfield Grange, on Worcester Way, formerly known as Sunrise of Solihull, is now managed by Care UK, after the provider announced they will be taking over the management of seven Sunrise Senior Living UK and 19 Gracewell Healthcare’s homes in the UK. 

To help inspire the new name, the General Manager and team members, who will remain in place under Care UK, and residents at the home were invited to submit their suggestions based on Solihull’s history, places and famous locals. 

Residents were encouraged to reminisce about their favourite memories spent in and around Solihull, with team members also sharing their own experiences of the area to help decide on a name.

Heather James, General Manager at Blossomfield Grange, said: “With the new year, comes a new name! Everyone at Blossomfield Grange is delighted to now be part of the Care UK family and to have a brand-new name to mark this exciting new chapter in the home’s history. 

“All Care UK homes are named after things, people and places that are part of local history. With Blossomfield being a popular suburb of Solihull, and one which many of the residents have fond memories of from their childhood through to later life, it felt fitting to use the name Blossomfield Grange.”

Care UK is a rapidly expanding provider offering high quality care for both funded and private residents, with more ‘outstanding’ rated homes than any other provider. As well as having a strong reputation for sector leading quality care, Care UK has invested heavily in developing a market-leading hospitality and lifestyle product reflecting similar focus areas to the Sunrise and Gracewell approach.

Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, Blossomfield Grange, which remains open to potential residents, incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities. The building has been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents.
