Jobs created as care provider opens supported living service

Care provider, Heathcotes Group, has opened Horton View, a new provision of independent supported living properties in Bradford for adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs.

A property in Clayton is being redeveloped in two phases to create a total of 14 self-contained apartments for individuals who are stepping down from a hospital or full-time residential care setting to improve their independent living skills.

The service includes a team of around 30 support workers providing 24-hour care support when needed.

Contractor, John Ryan Developments Ltd, has completed phase one which features six self-contained apartments providing single person accommodation alongside laundry facilities and office space.

Phase two is due for completion soon, providing eight more apartments as well as a communal lounge, laundry facilities, staff break-out space and additional office space.

Horton View service manager, Luke Hoyland, said: “Horton View has been designed by Heathcotes’ in-house architectural consultancy, JDS Design.

“They have done a superb job in creating enhanced provision for our service users and support team.

“Each apartment offers spacious accommodation with its own lounge, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

“Our on-site team is available to assist whenever required and each resident has a designated support worker for ongoing one-to-one support.”

Heathcotes’ director of business development, Natalia Lysiuk, added: “We provide services like Horton View across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire to complement our full-time residential care services, giving our service users the next step in the care pathway towards full independence.

“They are also suitable for individuals who require a single-person service due to their complexity and inability to live with others.”
