Dementia specialist care operator Belong has appointed Patrick Butler to lead the team working across the 25-place nursery and care village.
Mr Butler ran two nurseries in the 1990s in Shropshire and has more than 30 years’ care experience.
The nursery within the village will be overseen by national charity Ready Generations, which specialises in intergenerational learning. Previous winner of Nursery World’s Team Initiative award, Liz Ludden, who owns Dukes and Duchesses Nursery School in Liverpool, will run the setting.
Patrick Butler said, ‘I’m thrilled to be leading the new Belong Chester care village. I’m passionate about care for all ages and, having previously worked in the city, I'm pleased to be back and looking forward to setting the highest care standards from day one. Our goal is to build what will become the premier dementia care service in West Cheshire.’
