Care home provider to create 60 jobs in Lincoln

A new care home on the outskirts of Lincoln that will create up to 60 jobs is starting to take shape.

Tanglewood Care Homes, an established family business which already runs five other care homes in Lincolnshire, is developing the new 72-bed residential care home on Long Leys Road in the city.

The home will open its doors to new residents in February 2019.

Owner and founder Tracy-Ann Shelbourn said: “This is the first new care home that Tanglewood has built for over 20 years and we’re really excited to see the progress that’s being made.

“When it’s complete early next year our new home on Long Leys Road in Lincoln will be a welcome addition to residential care provision in the city. We are looking forward to welcoming our first residents in February 2019.”

The three-storey home will cater for elderly residential care, nursing care and dementia care residents.

The building work is being undertaken by LNT Construction, a Leeds-based specialist in building care homes.

Tanglewood already owns and runs care homes in Boston, Alford, Coningsby, Spalding and Horncastle.
