New care home being built in Wetherby

Construction work has started on a new nursing home in Wetherby. Completion of the new £6 million Hadrian Healthcare Group residential home is expected in January 2013.

Jas Gill, managing director of Hadrian Healthcare Group said: ‘The development will create 60 jobs and we will open for residents in January next year.

‘There will be 59 bedrooms, including a specially designed suite for people with dementia, plus eight self-contained independent living suites for residents who need minimal care but benefit from living in a supported environment.

‘We provide five star care and accommodation and we seek to enrich the lives of all our residents, encouraging them to continue being part of community life.

‘Our staff have significant experience and we invest in training on an on-going basis which is key to providing the highest quality of person-centred care.’

Hadrian Healthcare Group describe their homes as luxurious, spacious and vibrant. The Wetherby home is one of Hadrian Healthcare’s Manor House Living developments and will have a library, garden, cinema, hair salon, ballroom, bistro, newspaper and sweet shop, residents’ bar and bowling green. There will also be on site car parking.

Wetherby councillor John Procter said: ‘The Manor House Living development will provide residents with a wide range of facilities and services.

‘They are also committed to using local suppliers.

‘This is a much needed development in Wetherby, right in the centre of the town.’

The Wetherby home will be the ninth care home to be opened by Hadrian Healthcare Group since 2008. They employ over 500 staff and their head office is in Gateshead.
