St
Quentin Residential and Nursing Homes
St Quentin was originally built for
Colonel Sir George Wade, the well-known pottery manufacturer who
lived there from 1925-1952. He named the house St Quentin because
he was awarded a bar to his M.C following the crossing by the
South Staffs regiment of the St Quentin canal in 1918.
Subsequently the house was purchased
by George Poole, a local builder who lived there until the Moorhouse
family bought it in 1974.In 1988, still owned and managed by the
Moorhouse family, St Quentin opened as a residential home for
the elderly. Later in 2000 the Hawthorns Nursing Home was acquired
and the name changed to St Quentin Nursing Home.
The two properties being adjacent to
each other has meant that residents are able to have the continuity
of moving to nursing care if required with little or no disruption,
as the Homes are run in a similar way by the proprietors who are
actively involved in the daily running of the business.
