Specialist care provider, Exemplar Health Care, has this week (wc 6th March) officially opened its brand-new, specialist care apartments in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
The newly opened apartments signify a £1.5m investment adjacent to the care home, Bennett Court. The new development will support people living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health conditions and physical disabilities. The apartments will enable quality care for adults with complex and high acuity needs who better suit a smaller group living space and will support those that are on a rehabilitation pathway, allowing for continued independence.
Available for referrals are four two-bed apartments and one single apartment. Each apartment is equipped with a kitchen/diner, lounge area, bedroom(s) with private en-suite and access to its own private garden away from the main building.
With over 40 homes across Yorkshire, the Midlands, the North East and North West, Exemplar Health Care provides person-centred care and rehabilitation that focuses on maximising independence, building everyday living skills and empowering people to live their best lives. The teams often take part in out of home activities with residents and recently visited Cannon Hall Farm in Cawthorne with residents of Bennett Court for some lunch and to see the animals.
Amanda Mitchell, home manager at Bennett Court, said: “I’m thrilled we have officially opened Exemplar Health Care’s new apartments in Pontefract, especially after having already establishing Bennett Court as a leading specialist care home. The new apartments will allow us to accommodate those who require more specialised care in smaller group settings, allowing people to have their own private space within the home whilst still receiving the highest quality of personalised nursing care.”
Exemplar Health Care is currently recruiting for a number of roles at Bennett Court including registered nurses and health care assistants for the new apartments. As well as access to a range of rewards and benefits, those who are appointed into the role of registered nurse will receive a one-off £5,000 welcome bonus following a successful probation.
