In a Nutshell
Dame Joan Bakewell visited the Village just after it opened as
part of a BBC Panorama report on the future of care. The big
question was - who pays? New Oscott is featured ten minutes into
the programme as a potential national solution for older people
seeking affordable housing with care - watch the programme here.
And New Oscott Village featured recently on the BBC Radio's
national 'Living Longer' series - listen here.
Angela Warrender (Village Manager): "On Fridays we hold a weekly
village market which is very popular. We have our own choir,
gardening and newsletter groups and our Happy Hounds weekly dog
training sessions have proved very popular - even for residents who
don't have pets! We're proud of our strong links with the community
and a lot of grandchildren, other family members, volunteers and
external gym members come in on a regular basis.
"Health is on the up too. Our well-being advisor and gym
instructor work closely together - we've seen a 15.2% overall
improvement in residents' health scores when measured against
typical criteria including sleep, fitness, blood pressure,
cholesterol levels and spiritual well-being. All in all it's been a
great first year!"
Bella Shevlin (resident): "I came to the Village six months ago
in a wheelchair from hospital, aged 97, alone and unable to use my
legs. Now I'm in the gym four times a week and with the help of the
staff and new friends walking again. You don't expect to get a new
life at my age - but in this place I have."
