A topping out ceremony at Sutton-In-Ashfield’s latest care home, Ashcroft Court, took place on 5th April 2011 to mark the structural completion of what is set to be a leading residential and dementia facility in the area.
The new three storey bespoke facility situated on Langford Road, will be operated by Ideal Care Homes and has been built by LNT Construction – both part of the LNT Group owned by Yorkshire-born entrepreneur Lawrence Tomlinson.
It was Lawrence Tomlinson (pictured below) - who has 25 years’ experience in designing, developing and operating purpose built residential homes; that placed the final ridge tile on the home to complete its build. Ashcroft Court will offer a home for 48 people - 18 beds for residential care and a further 30 for those living with dementia.
As well as providing 100% en-suite accommodation, fully landscaped courtyard gardens, a hairdressing salon and stunning floor to ceiling windows, the home will also serve to create fifty jobs for the local area. Care home manager Shaun O’Grady is looking to recruit a range of staff from care assistants to kitchen staff and night managers, ready for the home’s opening in August 2011.
Lawrence Tomlinson, Chairman of the LNT Group said: "I’m thrilled to see the roof going on at Ashcroft Court and to know that local residents will benefit from having such a first rate facility on their doorstep and at prices that they can afford.”
Ideal Care Homes Managing Director Mark Greaves, who has over 25 years’ experience in the sector added: “With a growing elderly population, high quality care provision is absolutely essential and I’m very pleased that we’re able to offer this facility to Sutton-In-Ashfield and its surrounding areas. We’ll be hosting a number of open days in the coming months for local residents and professionals and I encourage as many people as possible to come along and see what we can offer in these fantastic new facilities.”
