“We are delighted to welcome Karen Deacon, to Princes Chase. Our relationship and support for QEF stretches back many years and the official opening of Princes Chase sees an important milestone in our close association. 

Karen Deacon, Chief Executive at disability charity Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for Disabled People, said, “Berkeley Homes has been a strong supporter of QEF for many years and it has been a pleasure to work with them and see this lovely new development created. Proceeds from the land sale have made a significant contribution towards the development costs of our exciting new Care and Rehabilitation Centre. QEF is committed to providing expert services that enable people with acquired or life-long disabilities to maximize their independence and live the life they choose. Due to open in Spring 2020, our new Care and Rehabilitation Centre will be a state-of-the-art facility and a centre of expertise for disabled people.  We will bring together expert, multi-disciplinary care and rehabilitation teams, so we can provide personalised care and therapy. Residents will also benefit from the latest therapy equipment and facilities, as well as assistive technology in the bedrooms.  Our new centre will be a comfortable place for people to live or rebuild their lives, surrounded by beautiful Surrey countryside with access to local towns, so that we can create a more inclusive and integrated community.”
