Headingley Hall

In September 2008, we embarked on a major extension project to build 20 new care rooms and care suites and 19 independent living apartments. The emphasis for this project has been very much on improving the overall quality of the home and its services.

This new facility will be ready to take its first clients in Spring 2010.

Pennington Court

We will shortly be undertaking a modernisation programme at the home, which will include new high quality ensuite rooms and improvement to the external landscaping. We will also be undertaking a pilot scheme, in conjunction with Leeds City Council, to offer care and support in an apartment style setting under the Personalisation Agenda.

Southlands

We have planning permission to build a purpose built extension for around 20 high quality rooms to extend our nursing service. We aim to start work on this development during 2010.

Otley

During the summer of 2009 we acquired a Brownfield site on the outskirts of Otley and have been successful in gaining planning permission for a new 46 bed care home. Once complete this will provide accommodation of unrivalled quality.

Other Projects

In addition to the development of new and existing care facilities, we propose to build a specialist training centre specifically for providing training to the health & social care sector. This will help promote best practice across the region and ensure all Westward Care staff meet our exacting standards. We will also be sharing our expertise with other companies in the sector to raise overall levels of care and service.
