A 66-bed luxury care home has officially opened its doors to residents in Whitby.

Mayor of Whitby, cllr Linda Wild, cut the ribbon to mark the official opening of The Mayfield Care Home, which is operated by Cromwell Care.

Tobyn Dickinson, chief executive of Cromwell Care, said: “Setting up and running a care home has been a dream of mine for many years, so to do it here in Whitby, where I used to come on holiday as a boy, is a dream come true. It’s a wonderful place, and everyone has been incredibly welcoming and supportive.”

The Mayfield is a purpose-built development offering residential, dementia and respite care.

The luxury care home offers all-inclusive living, with a single weekly fee covering everything from hair styling and manicures at the on-site salon, physiotherapy, chiropody and accompanied healthcare visits, to trips out to the beach and movie screenings at the on-site cinema. 

Adam Kane, general manager of The Mayfield, added: “We’re so excited to be opening The Mayfield in Whitby. The town is incredible, and we can’t wait to get our new residents out and about to enjoy the area, whilst providing the highest level of care at our fantastic new home.”
