The suite is a product of months of preparation by home manager Andrew Polverino and his team.

The opening follows an inspection by regulator, the Care Quality Commission, which rated the provider "good" in all areas.

The care home was also recently recognised as a finalist in The Great British Care Awards 2024.

The name of the new suite was chosen through a collaborative process, involving residents, families, staff members, and stakeholders.

Mr Polverino added: "The Lowry Suite will offer care to residents who live with dementia and will be a safe place for residents to live and enjoy.

"If there is anything I have learned from the refurbishment of The Lowry Suite, it’s that I am no decorator, and quite honestly, I’m glad about that."

The care home, located just a five-minute walk from Bury Market, is committed to keeping residents engaged with a range of activities and events.

Burrswood House is keen on "maintaining strong connections" with the community and is inviting people to be part of this development.
