Residential real estate recognition for luxury care home

Yorkshire-based care home company Springfield Healthcare is celebrating after its Beverley-based care home, Chapter House, was awarded ‘Best Residential Operator’ at the Yorkshire Residential Real Estate Awards 2023. 

Opening its doors less than a year ago, Chapter House, a 79-bed care home which provides residential, dementia, respite and palliative care was praised by judges for “keeping people at the heart of everything it does,”

The prestigious awards, which were held at the New Dock Hall in Leeds were set up to celebrate the Yorkshire property industry, and to raise money for the Yorkshire Children’s Charity, which raises vital funds to help disabled and disadvantaged children in the region.

Chapter house is one of eight luxury care homes within the Springfield Healthcare group that prides itself on its unique ‘5* hotel with care’ proposition, which made it stand out to a panel of esteemed judges. 

Graeme Lee, CEO of Springfield Healthcare, said, “On behalf of Chapter House and everyone at Springfield Healthcare, we are delighted to win this award.

“Our aim is to build care homes in the heart of communities, that host the latest technology to maintain residents’ dignity, keep them safe and allow staff to provide the very best person-centric care, now and in the future. 

“Our warm and welcoming interior design style has our residents’ wellbeing front of mind and has been created to replicate a home-from-home environment for residents and their families”

Head of Marketing, at Springfield Healthcare, Rachael Dunseath added, “The staff are thrilled to have scooped the award and already have it on display at the home. 

“At Springfield Healthcare, we take an ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) approach across our portfolio of care homes to safeguard our buildings and to futureproof the care we provide within our communities.”

Janet S, a sister of a resident living at Chapter House said, “Chapter House has the most lovely, homely décor, is well designed and has beautiful outdoor space.

“All the staff I met are so friendly, but also capable of providing excellent care – I feel that Chapter house is superb in comparison to other care home I visited.”

This award comes less than a year since two of Springfield Healthcare’s homes were listed in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2023, which showcases 100 of the finest care homes in the UK.
