A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of a new care home in Brampton, Rotherham.

Sid Bailey Care Home was opened by local MP, John Healey, and Adele Riles, daughter of Sid Bailey.

The five-star luxury care facility has been designed and purpose built by LNT, and is at the forefront of energy-saving technology. 

The home has an outstanding EPC ‘A’ rating and will operate without gas as 80% of the roof is covered in solar panels for electricity generation, and extensive ground source heat technology will be used for water heating, underfloor heating, and air cooling.

As well as employing the highest standards of residential, dementia, and respite care, the facility also offers restaurant-quality food and an abundance of social spaces such as coffee shops, garden rooms, a library, a cinema, and a hair and beauty salon.

Home manager, Sue Ravenhall, said: “The home will support every resident who lives here and their families, as well as being an asset to the whole community.

“The home is industry leading in every way, from the bespoke individual-centred care to the design of the building.”

The home has been designed to include everything residents need to live a busy and comfortable life, from accessible sensory gardens to spacious en-suite wetrooms.
