A premium new dementia day care facility has officially opened at Statham Lodge Hotel in Lymm, launched by local brothers Brad and James Crompton in partnership with the award-winning The Rainbow Care Group.
The specialist hub, designed to deliver highly personalised, non-clinical care and available to use for families around the Warrington and Cheshire area, was officially opened during a community event by the Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Sagheer Zaman.
The venture was deeply inspired by the brothers’ personal journey with their mother, Claire, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 54. After struggling to find localised, person-centred support that prioritised an individual’s identity rather than just their medical condition, the Appleton-raised brothers chose to build the service themselves.
Reflecting on the shortage of tailored local support, Brad Crompton, Director of The Rainbow Care Group South Manchester and Cheshire, explained the emotional driving force behind the project:”There was not a single place we felt comfortable taking our Mum that felt right for her as a person, rather than a patient, so our only option was to build it ourselves.”
The brothers hold every decision to a personal standard, asking: “Would we feel happy and confident bringing our own mum here?”
Operating Tuesdays and Thursdays at Statham Lodge, the club offers small-group, non-clinical care featuring art, music, cooking, and tailored activities.
The launch included the Lymm Beat Team promoting the Herbert Protocol for safeguarding, along with a 1960s police “Panda” car. This new venue is part of a regional expansion, with other hubs at The Tytherington Club and Egerton Hall. Families can book free trial sessions via The Rainbow Care Group.
Attendance Allowance may also be utilised by eligible individuals to help fund care costs.
