Leeds based care home operator Danforth Care has revealed plans to roll out eight care homes in the next 18 months.

Danforth Care has opened eight residential care homes in the last 12 months from Lancashire to Norwich, creating 260 jobs and 528 places to live for vulnerable people.

Tamara Crosswell, home manager of Broadlands Care Home in Norwich, said: “Broadlands Care home has become a great influence on the local community establishing close connections with various professional and local community groups. We have developed close networks with a mother and baby group, who visit us once a week. We are also working closely with two local dementia groups.”

The group’s other care homes are continuing to establish ongoing projects with local primary schools, charities, community groups and local churches. 

 “It has been a great success watching someone’s life being enhanced with their individual care and well-being and the team being part of that journey,” Crosswell said. “The staff have embraced the high standard of training and they have kept this at 100% over all with completion in all fields.”

“The reviews have been very positive, and the home is now rated ‘10’ out of ‘10’ in care home reviews and also in the East of England it is currently 15^th out of 1,566 care homes.”

Following the success of its home launches, there will be no let up in the group’s rapid roll-out plans with a further eight services planned in the next 18 months.
