The boss of a Gateshead care home which cares for people with brain injuries and dementia is looking forward to expanding again this spring - after a challenging two years during Covid-19.
Dr Niraj Brahmabhatt - director of the Chase Park Neuro Centre in Whickham - explained that by concentrating on one "wing" of the care home and closing the other during the pandemic, his team had been able to keep their 30 residents safe.
Though staff recruitment had been difficult at times, he said the aim is now to recruit and to invest in the "tight-knit" workforce and new technology.
