Exemplar Health Care officially opens Hillside Court

Exemplar Health Care has officially opened Hillside Court in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Construction began in August 2022, led by Walter Thompson Contractors, with the home opening to residents earlier this year. At the time of opening, Hillside Court was Exemplar’s 50th care home, with the Rotherham-based provider having since opened another setting as part of its growth plans.

Hillside Court focuses on supporting adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia and neuro-disabilities. The home has 41 bedrooms, each with an en suite, across four units. The home has communal dining and living spaces, sensory bathrooms, an activities hub, therapy room, consultation room, visitors’ suite and a garden. People living at the home be able to access clinical and holistic care.

‘After months of planning, preparation, and team building, it was very exciting to finally open our doors and to get to work supporting people in Leeds,’ said Laura Clegg, home manager at Hillside Court.

‘Our whole team wants to create a warm, inclusive, and vibrant community where the people we support can thrive, families can find support, and where compassionate care is at the forefront of everything we do.

‘We know this type of service is in high demand for individuals and families in the local area and our dedicated team is looking forward to working with local commissioners, social workers, and families to make a positive difference to people that need long term nursing care and support.’

Lord Mayor of Leeds, councillor Abigail Marshall Katung, opened the home.
