Work starts on £12m Jewish care village
WORK has started on a £12m Jewish care village which will create 100 jobs in Manchester.
Belong Group’s sixth facility – branded Belong Morris Feinmann – is being built in West Didsbury with the help of an £8.5m loan facility from The Royal Bank of Scotland.
Belong is a brand owned by CLS Care Services, a charitable organisation which provides high quality care for older people and has been operating in the sector for more than 20 years.
The former Morris Feinmann Home is being demolished to make way for the new four storey care complex which will offer 74 bed homes, plus 13 apartments, all with en-suites.
Facilities will include a kosher kitchen, Jewish deli cafeteria, lounges and a restaurant.
The development is due to open in 2017.
Belong chief executive Nick Dykes said: “Belong Morris Feinmann will replicate the high standard of living and care the Belong Group is associated with.
“This latest development will be a great asset to the group and the local Jewish community and will enable us to expand our brand and footprint across the North West.”
Kenny Nelson, relationship director at RBS added: “We are delighted we could once again show our support to the Belong Group by assisting their sixth care village and we wish the team well as works get underway. Belong Morris Fienmann will add to the group’s impressive portfolio as a reputable care operator providing dedicated care across the North West.”
