Exemplar Health Care will this autumn open a £4.9m specialist nursing care home in Birmingham for adults living with a range of complex and high acuity care needs.
Located in Blackmoor Croft near Birmingham city centre, Blackmoor will support 30 adults living with a brain injury, neuro-disability, spinal injury, physical disability or mental health conditions.
Blackmoor will feature communal spaces, including landscaped gardens, for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Every bedroom will come with an ensuite wet room and there will be spacious dining areas and bedrooms and a hub/barista area.
The care home has recently appointed a commissioning home director, Kerry Hill, who will be in charge of opening the home and getting the new staff and residents acclimated.
“As well as providing employment opportunities, there are plans in place to help Blackmoor become part of the local community,” she said.
“It’s our ambition for Blackmoor to be a place where we host community events, and where our residents can be part of the community, whether through work placements, local events or volunteering.”
Ahead of the opening, Exemplar Health Care has donated 4 park benches to a local park in Birmingham, Tilecross Park.
The initiative was set up by builders Walter Thompson and Exemplar Health Care, as part of their work with The Tile Cross Resident Group to make Tile Cross a cleaner, greener and safer place to live.
