The Deputy Mayor of Wakefield has officially opened Fairwood Fields Care Home – part of the Crystal Care Collection – in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
The home welcomed over 160 guests for its Yorkshire-themed Grand Opening event, celebrating with local entertainment and traditional food. Guests were treated to mini Yorkshire puddings, fish and chips, and the home’s signature Yorkshire gin and tonic, while children enjoyed themed activity packs and a visit from a tractor courtesy of Fairleigh Farm.
Councillor Lynn Masterman, Deputy Mayor of Wakefield, said: “Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in Pontefract as we celebrate the grand opening of Fairwood Fields Care Home – a venture born from passion, hard work and a deep commitment to serving our community. Fairwood Fields redefines later life living with a blend of luxury and thoughtful care, and having seen it myself, it’s truly amazing.”
Lynn Robinson, general manager at Fairwood Fields, added: “We’re absolutely over the moon with how the day went. The turnout from the local community was incredible, and the atmosphere was full of joy, laughter and pride. This is just the start of our journey, and we’re looking forward to welcoming our first residents into their beautiful new home over the coming days.”
