Mayor helps launch Rugby nursing community

Maggie cut the ribbon in front of guests, who were invited to view the home’s newly refurbished nursing facilities on Dunchurch Road, which include 22 generous bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. She also met their three, newly appointed nurses.

The afternoon event, attended by local businesses and care professionals, included tours of the community and speeches from Maggie, Wendy Fowler the Nursing Education Advisor for the Nursing and Midwifery Council and Carol Judd-Winn, Lead District Nurse for Rugby.

General Manager at Anya Court Care Home, Michelle Sides said: “I am delighted that our nursing community is now officially open and I’m incredibly grateful to those who attended our special event to show their support.

"It’s important to our residents and their families that they live in a care home for life, which is why we have extended our care offering.

“I am excited to be able to lead the team here at Anya Court and support our nurses, who have been selected for their kindness, expertise and commitment to care, and ooze passion and enthusiasm.”
