Care UK Takes On Six New Homes In Yorkshire

Care provider, Care UK has taken over the leadership and management of six care homes in Yorkshire, formerly operated by Springfield Healthcare.
The management contract came into effect on Monday 7th October and includes six properties. They are:

• Chapter House, Beverley
• Chocolate Works, York
• Harcourt Gardens, Harrogate
• Mayfield View, Ilkley
• Seacroft Grange, Leeds
• Seacroft Green, Leeds

Andrew Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Care UK, said: “I am very pleased to welcome Springfield colleagues, residents and their loved ones to the Care UK family.”

“I know that care quality has been very important to Springfield. It is a value we share and one we will continue to prioritise in ensuring residents are supported to live fulfilling lives.
“This venture marks an exciting expansion into a new area of the country for us and we believe the quality and calibre of these homes aligns perfectly with the Care UK brand. We are looking forward to getting to know the residents and their local communities as well as supporting and developing our new colleagues.”

Care UK now operates 164 homes across England, Scotland and Wales and has the highest care rating of the UK’s large care provider.
Through the management of former Springfield homes, Care UK welcomes almost 600 new colleagues and 528 additional beds to meet a variety of needs, ranging from specialist nursing care to residential and dementia care. In addition to the care support provided, several of the homes offer accommodation for more independent senior living.

Karen Seabrook, Operations Director of Care UK’s Central Division will take responsibility for the ex-Springfield homes with the support of Amanda Holland, who is moving to the role of Yorkshire Regional Director.
