Blackmoor care home in Birmingham celebrates six months of supporting adults with complex and high acuity care needs.
Blackmoor is a specialist nursing home which supports adults living with complex mental health needs and neurological conditions such as Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease.
The home opened in September 2021, the home was officially opened in a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor Muhammad Afzal.
During a tour of Blackmoor, the Lord Mayor greeted and spoke with residents at Blackmoor, and met with the home’s care team. The Lord Mayor was also invited to cut the ribbon and unveil a special jubilee plaque, marking the official opening of the home, alongside Blackmoor’s Commissioning Home Director Kerry Hill and senior Exemplar Health Care executives, team members and commissioners.
Kerry Hill, Commissioning Home Director at Blackmoor said, "I’m thrilled to celebrate six months of Blackmoor being officially open, it’s a beautiful building which is now a welcoming home for residents and a great place to work for 60 colleagues.
“Despite all the challenges of the pandemic, the community has kept us strong and Blackmoor has kept everyone safe and continues to smile and have fun every day.” Kerry added.
