Manx Care’s new care home, Summerhill View, is due to receive its first residents today.
In a programme of agreed moves, 31 residents will be moving from Reayrt Ny Baie to Summerhill View over the next two weeks, ensuring that all of the residents will be able to settle into their new home by Christmas.
Whilst change can always be difficult, comments from the incoming residents has been universally positive about their new home.
Executive Director for Mental Health, Social Care and Safeguarding, Professor Tim O’Neill said: “Manx Care is delighted to offer such a wonderful facility to the people of the Isle of Man.
“We look forward to welcoming the residents and are sure they will enjoy their new home”.
Summerhill View
The £14.9m 60-bed residential care home on Victoria Road is due to replace Reayrt ny Baie, based on Albert Terrace.
Originally due to be run by the island’s healthcare operator, it was announced in January that it was possible a private firm could be contracted in to run the home.
Manx Care has said it will now work alongside LV Care to ensure the efficient opening of Summerhill View and to help ease the transition of residents from Reayrt ny Baie to Summerhill View.
