Family-run care home to create 200 jobs in Notts
A family-run business is set to create 200 jobs at a new care facility in Worksop, after unveiling the completion of the first phase of a multi-million pound care village to be launched in the town.
Developed by Dinnington-based Horizon Care, Greenacres Grange, which is situated on Wingfield Avenue was officially opened on Monday January 16th by Cllr Madeline Richardson, vice chair, Bassetlaw District Council.
The new centre will provide living accommodation designed to support individuals with both short and long term care needs. The centre will house four custom care units, which will each support up to 20 people and deliver specialist care provisions to support a range of care needs including assisted living, dementia support, rehabilitation and specialist support services aimed at helping individuals with complex care needs to live as independently as possible.
Greenacres Grange marks the beginning of a multi-million pound investment into Worksop by Horizon Care, which already runs sites in Sheffield and Dinnington.
Laura Higginbottom, managing director, Horizon Care, said: “The opening of Greenacres Grange marks the completion of the first phase of what we hope will become our flagship care village. We have built our reputation within the care industry upon providing tailored accommodation, resulting in a safe, comfortable environment which is capable of meeting the needs of individuals with very different care requirements, whilst enabling patients to live as independently as possible.
“We recognised there was an acute shortage of high quality care provisions within Worksop and we wanted use our skills, knowledge and expertise to help individuals living within the town. Over the past two years we have invested significantly in transforming the site of the former Greenacres Training Centre into what will become the first purpose-built care village within Worksop.
“We have spent many years developing our offering and the opening of opening Greenacres Grange marks a significant milestone in our bid to provide high quality care and support for people living in Worksop.
“We’re proud to bring our unique formula which has helped so many people throughout the Sheffield City Region to Worksop. In doing so, we’re helping to create new skilled jobs within the local economy, but perhaps much more importantly a safe, comfortable environment where residents are treated dignity and respect in a caring and supportive environment.”
Work began on Greenacres Grange in 2013 after Horizon secured planning permission to transform a former adult training centre located on the site. The centre will be managed by experienced care manager Amanda Fields who has previously been responsible for overseeing Horizon’s Waterside Grange complex in Dinnington.
