£3.4m care home opens in Pontefract

A provider of specialist nursing care has officially opened its new £3.4m complex needs care home in Pontefract.

Bennett Court, based on Ash Grove in South Elmsall, will be Exemplar Health Care’s sixth home in West Yorkshire, supporting 30 adults with complex health care needs and neuro-disabilities.

The new complex needs care home has 30 large bedrooms across three units, as well as a communal living space and a large accessible garden for residents and visitors to enjoy.

Every bedroom comes equipped with an en-suite wet room, and, in addition, the home has an activities hub, sensory bathroom and is close to local amenities and transport links.

Speaking about the opening, Helen Lawson, commissioning home director for Bennett Court, said: “I’m thrilled to have opened Exemplar Health Care’s newest home in West Yorkshire.

“This community-based home will provide person-centered care and rehabilitation that focuses on maximising independence, building everyday living skills, and empowering people to live as fulfilled lives as possible.

“It is extremely rewarding to be able to support 30 local people with complex health needs, and to provide over 150 stable and local jobs for those wanting to be part of a new team where you can make a difference and every day better.”

In addition to opening its latest home in West Yorkshire, the specialist needs care provider is continuing its search for other areas where it can open more homes across the region. The business is engaging with local authorities to identify future locations.
