£12m care home to create 100 jobs

A £12m, 74-bed care home has been officially opened in Otley Road, Guiseley.

Guiseley Manor is care home operator New Care’s second home in Yorkshire and will offer residential, dementia and 24-hour nursing care services.

It was opened by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Al Garthwaite.

The home features a selection of communal lounges, reading rooms and dining rooms, spa-assisted bathrooms, a nail bar, hair salon and access to landscaped communal gardens and terraces.

Cllr Garthwaite, said: “I was extremely impressed with the facilities on offer at Guiseley Manor. They have clearly given it a lot of thought, offering their residents a high standard of care.  The gardens are superb and will provide a welcoming environment for all.”

New Care is part of the McGoff Group. Commissioning director at New Care, Dawn Collett, added: “It was a pleasure to welcome the Lord Mayor to Guiseley Manor as our guest of honour and we’re pleased she was able to officially declare the care home open.”

Guiseley Manor is recruiting locally with about 100 jobs expected to be created locally over the next 12 months in multiple roles including nurses, carers, hospitality, housekeeping, wellbeing and activities, maintenance and catering.

The home complements New Care’s first care facility in the locality – Adel Manor, also on Otley Road, which opened last year.
