Look inside The Belmont care home built on former Park and Ride

The Belmont, on John Comyn Drive off Droitwich Road, opened its doors for the first time last week and has welcomed its first resident.

It has been built on the site of the former Park and Ride which has been closed since September 2014.

In its place has appeared a North Worcester Primary School and the new care home.

Links have been built between the care home and school with children visiting to read to the sole resident Heather and plans for more intergenerational work in the future.

Residents can make the most of the facilities at The Belmont which includes a cinema room, spa suite and a hairdressing salon.

The three-floor home also features a cocktail bar, private dining and bistro restaurants and 74-bedrooms.

From its third floor, large panoramic windows look out over north Worcester across the allotments and golf course up to Fernhill Heath.

And the sun terrace provides a perfect sun-trap to aok up the rays and enjoy the views.

Along with its links with the neighbouring school, the home is now a foundation partner for the Worcester Warriors Community Foundation.

It will support those in the community living with dementia and host future dementia café events run by the foundation.

People can also take a look around for themselves at Welcome Wednesdays events which are themed with a cocktails and mocktails event and spa experience taking place soon.

The team is also planning on holding an Antiques Valuation Day Roadshow with experts from Antiques Roadshow, Flog IT and Masterpiece.

It will take place on Thursday, March 10 from 10am to 2pm.

A Gatsby-themed grand opening is also set to take place on Saturday, March 26 for 10am with a classic car show and entertainment.
