Danforth Care Homes is celebrating the grand opening of Primrose House in the East Riding of Yorkshire –the eighth facility in Danforth’s growing portfolio.
Located 24 minutes from Hull city centre, the opening of Primrose House will create 60 new jobs, each of which will come with a fully funded DBS check and full support to aid staff in completing an NCQ qualification.
Purpose-built by LNT, Primrose House will be home to 66 residents, who will be able to enjoy facilities such as an on-site hair and beauty salon, sensory garden, café bar, library, and cinema. The home offers restaurant-quality food cooked by a team of chefs, alongside 24-hour residential, dementia, and respite care tailored to individual needs.
Primrose House also boasts strong sustainability credentials, with an A energy-rating and a carbon-free status, meaning it operates without gas. Instead, ground source heating technology has been built under the site for underfloor and water heating, as well as air-cooling systems, and 80 per cent of the roof of the home is covered in solar panels for electricity generation, with an on-site battery to store excess energy for later use.
Home manager Andi Barker said: “We are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to open Primrose House with a great grand opening ceremony. The home will be a huge asset to the whole Brough community, as well as the surrounding community of the Humber.
“We are so proud to be an A rated and carbon free care home. It’s important we both look after the people in our community and the environment we live in, and Primrose House is taking every step to ensure both are cared for.”
