Green light for care home expected to create another 90 jobs

Hadrian Healthcare Group has secured permission for a new “five star” care home for the elderly in Roundhay, Leeds.

The company will be investing about £15m in the development, which will bring up to 90 permanent jobs to the local area.

Construction is due to begin in summer 2022, with the development planned to be completed in late 2023.

The Manor House Roundhay will be on Park Avenue and will offer 65 bedrooms/suites, each with their own en-suite bathroom. The living areas will look out over landscaped private gardens.

As well as residential accommodation,  The Manor House Roundhay will provide specialist ‘Chesters’ accommodation, to provide a safe and stimulating environment for people with dementia and other memory impairments.

Respite care will also be available for those who need a short break away from home or to convalesce after hospital treatment.

Facilities will include a bistro, café/bar, a traditional style tearoom, beauty salon, private dining facilities along with gardens and seating areas.

Hadrian Healthcare was established in 1995. The company sold five of its Manor House homes in Yorkshire and County Durham in 2019.

It now operates two North East homes; the Manor Houses at Gosforth and Whickham. The company’s most recent development, The Mill House Skipton, will open in January 2023.

Ian Watson, owner and chairman of Hadrian Healthcare, said: “We look for sites that reflect our offering and Roundhay fits perfectly with our vision. We are sensitive to the Roundhay Conservation Area and have worked with planning officials and local representatives to ensure our home blends with the local architecture and enhances the area.

“Quality of care and quality of life is paramount to us – we are large enough to make a difference but small enough to care”.

“We are looking forward to welcoming residents to The Manor House Roundhay when it opens in 2023.”
