Exemplar Health Care has marked the official opening of Hillside Court in Beeston, Nottinghamshire.
Construction for Hillside Court began in August 2022, led by Walter Thompson Contractors, with the home officially opening to new residents in January 2024. Cutting the ribbon at the official opening was the Lord Mayor of Leeds, councillor Abigail Marshall Katung.
Hillside Court has 41 en suite bedrooms, communal dining and living spaces, sensory bathrooms, an activities hub, therapy room, consultation room, visitors’ suite, and a large accessible garden.
Laura Clegg, home manager at Hillside Court, said: "After months of planning, preparation, and team building, it was very exciting to finally open our doors and to get to work supporting people in Leeds.
“Now that we’ve been open a few months, and we have our first resident’s living with us, it’s really started to feel like home – especially now we’ve cut the ribbon and had a party to celebrate!
“Our whole team wants to create a warm, inclusive, and vibrant community where the people we support can thrive, families can find support, and where compassionate care is at the forefront of everything we do.
“We know this type of service is in high demand for individuals and families in the local area and our dedicated team is looking forward to working with local commissioners, social workers, and families to make a positive difference to people that need long term nursing care and support.”
