Yorkshire-based provider Exemplar Health Care is investing over £20m to open five new homes in England over the coming 12 months.
The new facilities will be built in Hull, Bradford, Birmingham, South Elmsall in West Yorkshire and Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.
The Rotherham outfit already has 32 homes across Yorkshire, the Midlands, north-east England and north-west England.
The homes will support adults who need specialist nursing care and are living with a complex neuro disability, physical disability or mental health condition.
In addition to providing a supportive community-based service for all residents, up to 150 jobs are expected to be created within every new home.
“These community-based homes provide person-centred care and rehabilitation that focus on maximising independence, building everyday living skills, and empowering people to live as fulfilled lives as possible,” said Exemplar Health Care commissioning director Charlotte Lloyd.
“It is extremely rewarding to be able to support local people with complex health needs, and to provide over 500 stable and local jobs,” she added.
“We already employ 1,000 people in the Yorkshire region, so we’re proud to be opening two further care homes in Bradford and Hull.”
