Event to Showcase £250k Whitby Nursing Home Investment

Wednesday, 24 May 2023 06:00

By Matthew Pells

Final preparations are underway ahead of an open day to showcase the results of a quarter of a million-pound investment in a Whitby nursing home.

An Open Day will be held at Jubilee House on White Point Road, Whitby on Friday 26th May from 10am to 4pm.

It will enable visitors to see changes made by the award-winning Saint Cecilia’s Care Group since it bought the former Oakland Nursing Home last year.

People will be able to take a tour of the home to see the difference after the family-owned care group began a £250,000 investment programme.

Registered Manager Tara Batra said:

“Everything is in place and we are looking forward to welcoming people to see the improvements we have made at Jubilee House since the Saint Cecilia’s takeover.”

“Anyone visiting will be welcome to have a look round the home’s communal rooms and bedrooms and talk to me and the team about the changes we have made and the care on offer at Jubilee House. Everyone is welcome.”

Jubilee House was previously Oakland nursing home and was given the new name after the takeover. The name was chosen as the takeover happened around the time of the late Queen’s jubilee last year. It was also felt that a new name would signal a fresh start for the home, which
is registered for 27 residents and has 25 staff.

The home is Saint Cecilia’s second nursing home, joining Saint Cecilia’s Nursing Home in Scarborough. The company also has Saint Cecilia’s and Normanby House care homes and Saint Cecilia’s Day Care centre, in Scarborough and the Alba Rose care home in Pickering.

Saint Cecilia’s Managing Director Mike Padgham added:

“We were delighted to take on Jubilee House and make it a part of the Saint Cecilia’s family.

“Since then, we have been delighted at the way we have been welcomed by the local community and the way the home’s staff have responded to the change of ownership and their commitment to improvement and taking the home forward to a new and exciting future.”
