Care firm expands into new premises following headcount increase

A County Durham care company has expanded into a new home to accommodate planned growth.

Home Instead Senior Care, which is based in Darlington, has moved into a new office after outgrowing its previous premises.

Based at Lingfield Point since 2012, the company has recently expanded its team of carers as well as its management team.

Diane Chandler, director of Home Instead Senior Care, commented: “We had outgrown our other office – we were on top of each other. “We looked at - do we need to move? Shall we look elsewhere? But it was a non- starter, Lingfield Point is perfect for us.

“Now I have my own office, there’s a training room and space for a staff area which is better for staff welfare.

“The workspace is big enough to accommodate further growth – I think the move has helped us to future proof the business.”

Lingfield House estate manager, Eddie Humphries, added: “It was a very straightforward move and we are delighted to say Diane and her team will be with us for many years to come.

“The bigger office in Lingfield House is looking great and offers space and privacy which were becoming an issue as the numbers at the firm grew.”
