Care home operator New Care has officially opened Guiseley Manor, its second home in Yorkshire.
The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Al Garthwaite, was invited by New Care – part of the McGoff Group – to cut a red ribbon to declare the home officially open and enjoy a guided tour of the new facility.
Councillor Al Garthwaite also met key members of the New Care team, including staff from Guiseley Manor, a £12m purpose-built home in Guiseley, near Leeds, that will offer residential, dementia, and 24 hour nursing care.
The home features 74 bedrooms, each with a private en suite wet room, plus a selection of communal lounges, reading rooms, dining rooms, spa-assisted bathrooms, a nail bar, hair salon and landscaped communal gardens and terraces. Guiseley Manor is recruiting locally, with approximately 100 jobs expected to be created over the next 12 months in multiple roles including nurses, carers, hospitality, housekeeping, wellbeing and activities, maintenance, and catering.
Cllr Al Garthwaite said: “I was extremely impressed with the facilities on offer at Guiseley Manor. They have clearly given it a lot of thought, offering their residents a high standard of care. The gardens are superb and will provide a welcoming environment for all.”
Commissioning director at New Care Dawn Collett added: “It was a pleasure to welcome the Lord Mayor to Guiseley Manor as our guest of honour and we’re delighted she was able to officially declare the care home open. It was wonderful talking to her and her consort, as well as seeing her meet some of the first residents.”
