New care home to open in Bulwell

A NEW care home catering for more than 60 people is opening its doors in Bulwell this week.

The new Hall Park Care Home, run by Avery Healthcare, will offer residential care and dementia care.

Bosses say the facility, opposite Bulwell Hall Park, will create more than 60 jobs for staff including housekeeping workers and healthcare assistants.

The care home is the first of several homes to be opened by Avery Healthcare this year.

Qualified mental health nurse Joy Taft, who has more than 25 years' experience in the care sector, will lead the home's management team.

She said: "This is going to be the most modern and luxurious home in the Nottingham area.

"Avery homes always tries to achieve an 'excellent' rating from government inspectors and that will be one of our first aims."
