VIVID, one of the region’s leading providers of affordable homes, is proud to unveil the newly renovated Laburnum House in Hedge End. This older person scheme has been thoughtfully updated to enhance comfort, wellbeing, and community spirit for its customers.
The makeover includes fresh carpets, a full repaint, and stylish new furniture in the communal areas — creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who calls Laburnum House home.
Customers now have access to a brand-new craft room and quiet room, offering dedicated spaces for creativity, relaxation and connection.
One of the standout features of the renovation is the new salon, fully equipped with a specialist basin and treatment chair. It’s the perfect spot for a pamper session, whether customers are being visited by a mobile hairdresser or enjoying treatments from local beauty professionals. The salon brings a touch of luxury and independence to everyday life.
Speaking about the salon, Kevin, a VIVID customer, said: "This is perfect — I think it’s very nice."
Another customer, reflecting on the full makeover, added: "We’re very happy with it. It looks much better and brighter. The salon looks very nice and modern."
Matt Bellamy, Director of Asset Strategy and Delivery said: "We’re excited to see Laburnum House refreshed and ready to support our customers in new ways. Investing in our properties is all about creating spaces where people feel proud to live, and where wellbeing and community thrive. I hope our customers enjoy the fresh new look of their home."
