At Springfield Care Homes, we know that a truly happy home begins with a safe, comfortable, and well-maintained environment. While our care teams, chefs, and activities coordinators are often centre stage, our maintenance team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. This dynamic duo, Dave at Springfield and Dylan, our newest team member at Prinsted, are dedicated to ensuring every part of our homes, from cosy bedrooms to welcoming communal areas, is always in top condition.
Why Maintenance Matters in Our Care Homes
A well-maintained home is about more than appearances. In a care home setting, it plays a vital role in:
Safety: Ensuring all fixtures, fittings, and equipment are in good working order.
Comfort: Creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere where residents feel relaxed.
Quality of Life: Allowing residents to enjoy their daily routines without disruptions caused by repairs or maintenance issues.
Meet Dave and Dylan – Our Behind-the-Scenes Heroes
Dave has been with Springfield for over 25 years, and this year, we celebrated this fantastic achievement. Dylan has recently joined our team but has already made a huge impact. Currently, Dave is working hard to refurbish the reception area at Springfield, giving it a fresh, inviting look for residents, visitors, and staff. His skills, attention to detail, and proactive approach mean problems are often fixed before they’re even noticed
The Benefits Our Maintenance Service Brings to Residents

Residents and their families can rest easy knowing that any maintenance issues will be dealt with quickly and professionally. This means less disruption and a more relaxed environment for everyone.
