Measuring Up The Competition.

Residents at the family-run Knowles Care Home are rolling up their sleeves to take part in a sunflower growing gardening competition where they hope to win up to £100 for the care home’s residents social fund.

“I’m thrilled the competition has been launched here again. I’ve always loved getting out in the garden, it really is a passion of mine” explained Keith, a resident gardener at The Knowles.

The Knowles Care Home invites residents of all gardening experience and ability to join the Gardening Club which is led by their groundskeeper, Richard Mee who provides residents with monthly expert gardening tips and advice. Richard is responsible for maintaining the beautiful gardens at The Knowles. “It’s so lovely to spend time with the residents, they are so passionate about the gardens and what we grow, from onions, beetroots to runner beans and so much more but everything is grown with love, and the sunflower competition is one of their favourites and this year we may have even broken some records.” Said Richard

“I’m quietly confident but I am also happy to take part and will water my sunflower every day with love. Wish us luck!” added fellow resident gardener June.

Harrier House Care Home is looking for a team of dedicated healthcare professionals.  The new, luxury 84-bedroom care and nursing home, on Hurricane Road in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire is due to welcome residents in early 2021. The home will combine residential, nursing, dementia, and respite care, in a luxurious but warm and homely setting.

The opening of Harrier House luxury care home will create up to 100 new jobs in the local area. The new home, run by Adept Care Homes has many prominent features, the home includes a cinema, a pub, a hair and beauty salon, a corner shop as well as a private dining room and has luxurious lounges throughout the home.

Dave Lock, Managing Director of Adept Care Homes said he was looking for people to work in Harrier House who wanted to be part of a different type of care experience.  He said: “We are looking for team members who want to provide integrated person-centered care, those individuals who want to go that extra mile and to help residents lead fulfilled lives.”

“We provide ‘all around’ care which means, everyone works collaboratively like you would in a real family home. Every day we look for new ways to do more for the people we care for and we never stop looking to improve. We’re creating a new model of care, and we’re excited to be bringing it to Hucknall” concluded Dave.
