Exemplar Health Care, a provider of nursing care for adults with complex needs, has opened two new units at its Potters Green care home in Kilnhurst, South Yorkshire, which it opened in August 2023.

Potters Green supports adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia, neuro-disabilities and physical disabilities, including Huntington’s disease, providing long-term community care for adults who would otherwise have a prolonged stay in hospital or other inappropriate setting.

The home originally opened with 20 bedrooms with en suite wetrooms, split across two small units. The home has been extended with the new units providing a further 18 beds.

Potters Green also features communal dining and living spaces, an activities hub, therapy room, multifaith room, beauty salon and a large garden.

Around 40 new jobs have been created, but the home is still looking for registered nurses, healthcare assistants and other support roles. To apply click here

Kim Payne, home manager at Potters Green, said: “I’m excited to be opening these new units and to play a part in expanding Exemplar Health Care’s valuable impact into a new community. Our hardworking team is devoted to fostering an atmosphere that is welcoming, inclusive, and focused on improving each and every day for the individuals we assist.”

Lindsay Morris, regional director of operations at Exemplar Health Care commented: “Our newest units are a testament to our dedication to offering excellent nursing care to adults with complex needs. I’m confident that Kim and her team will make a significant and long-lasting difference to the lives of those we support here. The home makes it possible for people from the region who require complex care to live closer to their friends, family and community.”
