Exemplar Health Care has marked the official opening of Hamilton Springs care home in South Elmsall, West Yorkshire.
Cutting the ribbon was The Right Worshipful the Mayor of the City of Wakefield Metropolitan District, Councillor Darren Byford.
The new home is the result of an extensive refurbishment of the former building, New Haven elderly care home, which started in January 2024. Hamilton Springs care home is Exemplar Health Care’s 11th home in West Yorkshire and supports adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia, neuro-disabilities, and physical disabilities.
The home has 37 en suite rooms split across three communities, as well as communal dining and living spaces, sensory bathrooms, an activities hub with an assisted daily living kitchen, a therapy treatment room, a beauty salon, and a large accessible garden.
Helen Lawson, commissioning manager at Exemplar Health Care, said: “We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our state-of-the-art care home in South Elmsall, following an extensive refurbishment of the closed building. This new home embodies our commitment to providing exceptional care and support to those living with complex care needs.
“We know our service offering is in high demand for individuals and families in the Pontefract 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.”
Claire Phelps, home manager at Hamilton Springs care home, said: “I am deeply committed to creating an environment that fosters inclusivity and empowerment, and I am certain the home will have a profoundly positive impact as we help more people be supported in a homely setting that they can make their own.
“The whole team wants to create a warm and vibrant community where individuals can thrive, families can find support, and where compassionate care is at the forefront of everything we do.”
