Creating a more comfortable home for residents
The Sir James and Lady Peiris Cheshire Home provides accommodation, daily care, meals, medical assistance and companionship for adults with disabilities.
Well-maintained facilities are therefore essential to the wellbeing of residents. The completed renovation and extension work created more practical spaces for meals, hygiene, household activities and everyday care.
Improving the dining and laundry facilities
The new dining hall provides residents with a more suitable environment for shared meals and social interaction. Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Cheshire Lanka because they encourage companionship and a sense of community.
The dedicated laundry room also supports better management of clothing, bedding and other household requirements. This helps staff maintain the cleanliness and comfort expected within a residential care environment.
Supporting accessible and reliable care
Building maintenance and facility improvements are necessary to ensure that the Home can continue providing dependable care. Residents have different levels of mobility and support needs, making safe and usable spaces particularly important.
The renovation work strengthened the Home’s ability to support daily routines while creating a more welcoming environment for residents, staff, families, volunteers and visitors.
Made possible through generous support
Cheshire Lanka gratefully acknowledges the donors, well-wishers, Board members, staff and supporters who contributed to the improvement of the Home.
Their assistance helped transform essential areas and ensured that the available resources were used to create long-term value for residents.
Continuing to maintain and improve the Home
Although the major renovation and extension programme was completed, the buildings and facilities require continuous maintenance. Financial contributions, materials and professional support remain important for future repairs and improvements.
