A THAMES Ditton care home has undergone a name change to better reflect its location and environment.
From today, Home of Compassion, which is situated on the banks of the River Thames, will be known as ‘Thames View (an Aria Care Community).’
The renaming marks a new chapter for the home, a grade II listed building dating back to the 18th century, which is at the heart of the Thames Ditton community with stunning views of the river.
Lovingly restored more than a decade ago, the building was transformed into a luxurious home providing care and a welcoming and engaging environment for its residents and the local community.
Paul Fenech, home manager at Home of Compassion, said: “We are so excited for this new chapter. We are in such a beautiful location, right on the banks of the River Thames, and both colleagues and residents alike love to sit out and admire the views.
“The name ‘Thames View’ feels much more reflective of life at the home and although the name might change, the hearts are still the same.”
To mark the renaming, a special afternoon tea will be held for residents and their families at the home today before it hosts a cheese and wine evening on Thursday, March 7 for members of the community to which everyone is welcome.
