Bank support helps create 13 jobs at new elderly care home in Scunthorpe

Renovation work is now underway to create a new 22-bed elderly care home in Broughton, Scunthorpe.

Supported by a funding deal with Royal Bank of Scotland, Ann Tuplin Care Services has begun renovation work on its new home, Carseld, which is set to open this summer.

Carseld, which means “home of care” in old English, is to be opened on the site of the former St George’s Care Home in Brickhills which closed in March 2015.

Local tradesmen are being used throughout the project and it is anticipated that 13 new nursing jobs will be created once the home opens. This number will increase to around 20 as occupancy levels rise.

So far the majority of work that has taken place has been to improve the fabric of the building with a new roof being laid and copper plumbing replaced throughout the property.

Internally, the property is being completely renovated with new wet rooms and en-suites set to be installed, a brand new professional standard kitchen created and new floors and carpets laid. The whole building will also be fully re-decorated and newly furnished.

Established in 1998, Ann Tuplin Care Services is a domiciliary care provider operating throughout North Lincolnshire.

Run by husband and wife team Noel and Ann Tuplin, Carseld will be the company’s first residential care home, focussed on providing accommodation for up to 22 permanent residents as well as offering a 30-day rehabilitation service for patients who leave hospital but are unable to return home.

Ann Tuplin, owner of Ann Tuplin Care Services, said: “I am really pleased with the progress we have made with our plans to open Carseld. The refurbishment works are coming along well and we intend to offer residents a high standard of care in very comfortable surroundings.

“Our domiciliary business has developed a great reputation over the last 18 years, delivering quality care in the home, and we plan to continue to deliver these exacting standards in our new residential home.

“We have worked closely alongside Neil Brownrigg and the Healthcare Team at the Royal Bank of Scotland to help us to get our plans for Carseld up and running. Their support has been excellent and is enabling us to finish our renovation work to the highest standards.”

Neil Brownrigg, healthcare manager at Royal Bank of Scotland, added: “Ann Tuplin Care Services is a well-respected domiciliary care provider and I am pleased that we have been able to support the company’s plans to launch its first care home.

“Ann and Noel’s plans for the facility are impressive and coupled with the high quality care provision they already operate, is set to offer local residents a great option when looking for residential care.”
