Danforth Care Group creates 250+ jobs in care sector

Private care home group Danforth Care has created a total of 260 jobs with the opening of eight care homes in the last 12 months, and another eight in the pipeline.

According to online news organisation Bdaily, the eight care homes have been opened all over the country, from Lancashire to Norwich. 

Opening a new care home doesn’t come without challenges, from regulation sign off, to recruitment and gaining admissions. For the care homes opened so far this year, Danforth has faced these challenges head on.

Hiring staff who are completely in line with Danforth’s values is a must for the group. The first care home openings have been a success and have prompted positive reviews, but the main thing for Danforth is the longevity of excellence. Staff will have constant training and will always be held to Danforth’s high standards and values.

Jessica Blythe, chief of staff at Danforth Care, says “when it comes to overcoming challenges such as meeting building completion deadlines, a good knowledge for the local area has been imperative. Having the support of a good team and a home manager who can be on board from the start of the commissioning process is also very helpful”.
