Weavers Court Event a Resounding Success for New Care Home
The newly-opened Weavers Court Leeds Care Home, in the beautiful Green Lane Mills development at Rawdon, threw open its doors last weekend to welcome both its local community and prospective residents. The weekend was the first opportunity for people to explore the new purpose-built care home for themselves. Welcomed by owners, Adore Care Group, and a team of dedicated Weavers Court staff, locals, prospective residents and their families joined together over the weekend to see the gorgeous luxury care home for themselves. Everyone was able to linger, meeting and talking to each other over an endless selection of cakes, scones and savoury light bites. It was a wonderful weekend-long event, with new friendships forged and connections made.
General Manager, Mariyam Jogi, said “We have had a tremendous response to our event over the weekend, with more than 100 people visiting our newly-opened home!”
Mariyam added, “I am delighted that we have several rooms reserved already, with almost twenty prospective residents’ assessments to carry out over the next few weeks. Many of our prospective residents are currently living in their own home, but they are actively seeking a safe, warm and friendly care home to come and live in.”

Care Home Opening Highlights Partnership Working
Weavers Court, a brand-new care home in Leeds from the Adore Care Group, was delighted to welcome the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Robert Gettings MBE JP to declare the home officially open. The care home, located in Yeadon, near Rawdon, was officially opened on Thursday 3 November, with operators, Adore Care Homes, and many health and social care professionals attending the event.
Andrew Long, of operator Adore Care Homes, introduced the mayor and thanked LNT Care Developments, the developer, for delivering this extremely high standard luxury care home.
Andrew commented, “This muti-million-pound development showcases the very best of Leeds and Yorkshire-based businesses.” He added, “With green energy technology that is already well ahead of Government targets, an integral part of our new home, Weavers Court offers a safe and secure environment of the highest standards for elderly people to live in.”
Health and social care professionals, including Dr Naylor of Aireborough Surgery, joined with other guests involved in the development of Weavers Court to mark the home’s formal opening.
Located in the beautiful Green Lane Mills development of Yeadon, within easy reach of both Leeds and Bradford, Weavers Court is the first Adore Care home to open. Opening the home officially, the Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Gettings said that he had been given detailed information about the home in advance of his visit, but nothing had prepared him for how good the home is, adding, “I am delighted to be opening this beautiful home in the Guiseley and Rawdon Ward of North Leeds. It is a wonderful facility and I am impressed by the attention to detail and quality of accommodation that it is on offer.”
Cutting the ribbon, the Lord Mayor declared the home officially open, wistfully adding that as, “We all get older, it is only right that elderly people in need of care have the choice to live in a place like Weavers Court.”
Mariyam Jogi, Weavers Court General Manager, said, “We have been made so welcome in Rawdon and Yeadon as we have prepared to open the home; not only by the many businesses and shops and offices in the area, but also by our Health and Social Care colleagues. We believe that this united approach to health and social care proves once again that, at grassroots level, true cooperation exists to demonstrate that the public and private sector can work together.”
Weavers Court has 66 en-suite rooms and is purpose built to meet the residents’ needs. A fabulous balance of both private, personal space and bright, comforting community areas; the home is developed around the needs and likes of residents. Facilities within the home include a cinema room, library, tea room, a hair and beauty salon and a cafe bar.

We recently held our recruitment assessment days at the Greenacres Hall, in Rawdon, for our brand new, luxury care home, Weavers Court, which is set to open this October.
We were particularly pleased with the excellent turn out, quality of candidates, enthusiasm and commitment displayed. It also gave us an opportunity for us to go through the roles at Weavers Court Care Home in more detail.
Both days were lively and interactive with intuitive ice breakers and solid care based scenario assessments, which were delivered by our Quality Care Director, General Manager, Care Manager and newly appointed Deputy Manager who has just achieved her NVQ Level 5.
We are still recruiting for a range of different roles so make sure to check out adorecarehomes.co.uk or call us on 0113 465 3000.

Settling on an area of sheltered scaffolding are two nesting pigeons who have made themselves’ quite at home!

The brooding pair have not yet been named but Dawn Barrie, Care Manager of the soon to be opened new home said “Pigeons are monogamous and breed for several seasons as long as both birds of a pair live” adding, “We hope to see other couples settling in at Weavers Court when the doors open officially in October!”
