The launch of Stock 7 addresses one of the principal issues that every care home faces – the need to maintain 100% occupancy levels wherever possible. Rather than having to wait up to three months for a new suite to be delivered, Stock 7 can be delivered and installed within seven working days, anywhere in the UK.
If time and situation permit, the speed of delivery enables a care home to consult with the families of a new guest and the guest themselves on the style and colours that would suit them best. Taking an inclusive approach, and the feeling of shared ownership, can be a significant benefit in making the resident feel comfortable from the start.

Roselea House, part of the Holmes Care Group, plans cultural visits as part of an activities programme designed to encourage health and happiness amongst the residents.
Ruth Goodman, Manager of Roselea House, said: “It was a fantastic day out, and the residents loved exploring the history of Callendar House. We’ll come back again soon.”

According to Ellen Brown, Sales and Marketing Director of Blueleaf, Stock 7 is yet another example of how the business is delivering on its mission to help care home providers deliver exceptional outcomes. She said: “With Stock 7 we are giving care homes a refurbishment option that offers a fast turnaround, comprehensive styling, and a quick return on investment.
“Whether a care home is looking to refit an individual room to welcome a new guest, or is undertaking a home-wide refurbishment programme, we have the quality designs to reflect your brand and the quality of care you provide.”
