Success stories throughout Eden, Cumbria
An area of above average affluent achievers with income to spend on improved health and social care.
The health of people in Eden is generally better than the England average. However, the ageing nature of Eden’s population presents significant challenges for the district.
More than half the District is described as ‘Comfortable Communities’. In general terms the indigenous population has the capacity to invest in private health and social care.
Woodlands, Penrith offer 54 independent living apartments with support services provided by an experienced staff team, which ensures a 24-hour service is available to all residents. McCarthy and Stone have built a similar facility at Pele Court, which shows a clear demonstration of demand.
Pressure is growing for more health and social care services to be provided outside of hospitals and closer to people’s homes. There are likely to be continued austerity measures and encouragement from Government to private firms to provide a wider range of health and social care services. The health and social care sector is set to expand. Taking into account the inherent advantages Eden offers in terms of accessibility and magnificent scenery, Eden is well placed to take advantage of private investment. The Council are keen to discuss any requirements from prospective private sector investors to encourage expansion of this sector for the benefit of the residents of Eden.
Eden is a great place to inspire and motivate you to achieve your maximum potential in life. Stuart Lancaster, Former Head Coach for the England Rugby Football Union
