Greenholme House Care Home, a new state-of-the-art care home in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, has celebrated its grand opening.
The 71-bed Avery Healthcare-owned home officially opened its doors in January 2025 and boasts a hair salon, cinema, café, outdoor terraces, private dining options, and landscaped gardens. The grand opening welcomed over 100 guests, including deputy lord mayor Cllr Mohammed Shafiq, Avery Healthcare executives, local residents, and community leaders. Attendees enjoyed canapés, live music, a harpist, a magician, and a casino table.
Councillor Bob Felstead said: “I attended the opening for several reasons, principal amongst which is the opportunity for local people to apply for jobs. The care home will, once fully occupied, create around 50 full-time roles. The facilities are stunning and there's a variety of rooms, great catering, [and] extremely well-appointed communal spaces including an outdoor area, dining rooms, and a cinema room.”
Home manager Donna Laird commented: “Thank you to everyone for attending our event! It was a pleasure to welcome so many members of the local community to Greenholme House Care Home.
“Providing exceptional care and supporting the well-being of our residents is at the heart of everything we do, and we are proud to have an amazing team dedicated to making a real difference every day.”
