| General Information / Background |
|
|
|
| In 1947 a group of local volunteers recognised the need in Bath for a retirement home that could provide high quality accommodation at an affordable cost for Bath's "elderly in need". Initially, under the umbrella of Bath Council for Social Service, the group purchased Bathampton Manor. Funds were raised by ways of Covenants, donations, grants and loans. Bathampton Manor's success led to the purchase of its second Home, Greystones, which was initially viewed as a one-year experiment to see whether it could meet the needs of the more frail elderly. It proved so successful the building was extended to accommodate more residents. In 1976 Henrietta House, then a hotel, was purchased and converted. Over the years the Company became independent of Bath Council for Social Service and in 1991 took on the Title, Bath Centre for Voluntary Service Homes Ltd., but for simplicity trades as BCVS Homes. |
