In addition to providing a caring environment for residents at Potters Green, over 100 jobs are expected to be created. Pacy and Wheatley Construction LTD have been appointed by Exemplar Health Care to redevelop the existing building located on Randerson Drive, Kilnhurst.

Charlotte Lloyd, Developments Director at Exemplar Health Care, said: “We are delighted to be bringing another of our specialist health care homes to the South Yorkshire region. It has always been our goal to provide high quality, personal care to those in need, and our latest renovation in Mexborough is part of this. Potters Green will provide person-centred care to help maximise the independence of its residents, empower them to live their life to the fullest and build on life skills.

“Alongside providing support for 20 people with complex needs, generating employment opportunities for the local community is extremely encouraging for us. We hope that Potters Green will become part of the local community and be seen as a safe and welcoming home for anyone in the local area in need of assistance and specialist care.”.
