new chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Prim Villa can be found in Primrose Hill and specialises in the care of people with Alzheimer\u2019s and other forms of dementia.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post

stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Meaning that the home now boasts not two, but three mid-care units that allow residents with early stage Alzheimer\u2019s to live in a free and home-like environment.<\/p>\n<p>Prim Cottage and Prim Terrace, the first mid-care units, have proven that living as a family is extremely beneficial to the well-being of the residents, and it is hoped the newest addition will be just as beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>The road to Prim Haven began in March, when the renovations to the recently acquired home behind Prim Villa, in Begonia Road, started.<\/p>\n<p>The seven-bedroom house was completed in October, through the dedicated work of Prim Villa building manger Gavin Hurley and his expert team.<\/p>\n<p>The unit can house 14 patients and is complete with a lounge, dining room and kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Residents will be able to enjoy all the facilities Prim Villa has to offer, including the pool, sensory room and remembrance garden, all while being cared for by a dedicated team of caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>The Prim Villa team pride themselves on being experts in caring for those with Alzheimer\u2019s or related dementia.<\/p>\n<p>The qualified nursing staff and caregivers in the facility are specially trained and understand the residents as they transverse the stages of Alzheimer\u2019s or related dementia.<\/p>\n<p>The staff members understand that the residents can feel hopeless at times, and are on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to give them the love and attention they need and deserve, making life as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so excited this dream has become a reality and look forward to the future,\u201d said Prim Villa manager Sharon Flint.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'
