A purpose-built care home has been officially opened in North Yorkshire.

Manor Park Care Home in Town Street, Old Malton, is designed to support older people with residential and dementia care.

The home has been developed to provide a modern, welcoming and homely environment, combining high-quality facilities with compassionate, individualised care.

Manor Park forms part of Sandstone Care Group, which specialises in creating outstanding care environments that put dignity, wellbeing and choice at the centre of daily life.

The opening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Mayor of Malton, Cllr Lindsay Burr MBE and resident Peter Netzel, followed by guided tours of the home, giving guests the opportunity to explore the spacious accommodation, communal lounges, landscaped gardens and dedicated dementia-friendly areas.

Visitors also had the chance to meet members of the care team and learn more about the home’s ethos and approach to care.

Manor Park has been designed to feel like a true community hub, offering a calm, supportive setting where residents can live well, stay connected and continue to enjoy the routines and interests that matter most to them. The home places a strong emphasis on personalised care planning, meaningful activities and close partnership working with families and local health professionals.

It is now welcoming enquiries from prospective residents and their families, as well as healthcare professionals seeking high-quality care options in the area.

Laura Clegg, registered commissioning manager, said: “We’d like to thank the Mayor for taking the time to come to our home for the official opening. Manor Park represents a significant investment in care for the local community. Every detail of the home has been carefully considered to create a warm, welcoming environment where people feel safe, supported and truly at home. We are incredibly proud to see this vision come to life.”

Lucy Holl, managing director of Sandstone Care Group, added: “The opening of Manor Park is a proud moment for Sandstone Care Group. It reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional care in purpose-built environments, supported by skilled, compassionate teams. Manor Park will play an important role in meeting local need while offering residents a place where they can thrive.”

Mayor of Malton, Cllr Lindsay Burr MBE, said: “Manor Park is absolutely unbelievable. The impression you get when you first walk in is amazing. We’re very grateful for the investment in Old Malton. As we live longer we need excellent places to come in our later years, and it’s so important that we’ve got choice for people in the local area because far too many say they can’t get the facilities nearby and have to travel, whereas here they have the opportunity to be near their loved ones and make happy memories.”
