Works completed on £10m care home

A new £10m care home in Haxby, about four miles north of York city centre, is now open and has welcomed its first residents.

Haxby Hall offers 63 en-suite bedrooms and has been developed by Brough-headquartered Yorkare, which now has 12 homes in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with five more currently under construction.

This latest development was built by Yorkshire and Lincolnshire construction firm, Hobson & Porter, and is the eighth project the company has completed for Yorkare since 2015.

Facilities at Haxby Hall include a bar, dining rooms, a beauty salon and hairdressing suite, cinema and outdoor terraces on each floor. There are also large gardens and a bowling green.

Nicola Anderson, marketing and community engagement manager from Yorkare, said: “We’re pleased to welcome our first residents into their new homes at Haxby Hall and everyone has been blown away by the facilities and overall quality that flows through the entire development.

“Every bedroom is designed to be spacious with superb décor and exceptional interiors.

“All the ground-floor bedrooms have doors leading out to private patio areas and our premium suites have their own lounge areas and these are already proving popular with both couples and individuals.”

Mark Smee, from Hobson & Porter, added: “We’re very proud to complete our eighth project for Yorkare in less than 10 years.

“Every detail at Haxby Hall, from the grand water fountains in the landscaped gardens to the magnificent communal areas, has been impeccably designed and speaks volumes about the standard of the whole development.”
