£12m care home opens in Notts

Care home operator New Care has opened its £12m care facility on Ruddington Lane in Ruddington – its second care home in Nottingham.

The doors to Ruddington Manor were officially opened by The Lord of Rushcliffe, councillor Maureen Stockwood, and her consort councillor Francis Purdue-Horan.

After a tour of the 66 bed ‘new generation’ care facility, the Lady Mayor met the first few residents at Ruddington Manor, two of whom have already moved in, with a further four or five due to join them in the coming weeks.

The Lady Mayor said: “It was a pleasure to visit and officially open Ruddington Manor. It is a superb care home and I was very impressed by the design and attention to detail evident in the building itself and the décor.

“Such a high quality care facility is a great addition to the Borough of Rushcliffe, particularly when New Care’s first home in the area, The Grand, continues to be hugely successful. The New Care team is committed to providing the very best care services and I wish both the staff and the residents all the very best for the future.”

Chris McGoff, chief executive at New Care, said: “We are thrilled that the Lady Mayor was able to take time out of her busy schedule to open Ruddington Manor. We are incredibly proud of the care facility and we were delighted to give her a preview tour. The cutting of the red ribbon and meeting the first Ruddington Manor residents was a truly memorable way to mark the occasion.”
