Construction starts on multi-million-pound care home, Wytham Lodge in Burnley

Construction of Wytham Lodge, our latest multi-million-pound complex care home in Burnley is underway.

Due to open in 2024, the home will provide nursing care for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.

Work started on Wytham Lodge in Padiham, Burnley last month by Triton Construction. When complete, the home will have 34 bedrooms, split into three units. As small group living provides a more homely, supportive, and responsive care environment.

Each of the 34 bedrooms will have its own en-suite wet room. The home will have communal dining and living spaces, sensory bathrooms, an activities hub and will be surrounded by landscaped gardens. There is a dedicated therapy room offering holistic therapeutic care and support led by the in-home Therapy Team. 

Wytham Lodge is set to open in 2024 and will create over 100 new healthcare jobs in the local area. Roles include Health Care Assistants, Registered Nurses, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist and support roles.

Recruitment for Wytham Lodge is due to start in the summer, and candidates can register interest for job alerts.

Charlotte Lloyd, Director of Commissioning said: “The home we are creating in Burnley will enable local people who have suffered an accident, or are living with complex needs, to live close to home.

"Wytham Lodge will support residents to regain their independence and everyday living skills. and, where possible, move back into their homes in the community.

“As well as providing employment opportunities, there are plans in place to help the new care home become part of the local community. It’s our ambition for the home to be a place where we host events, and where our residents can be part of the community, whether through work placements, local events or volunteering.

“When the doors open to Wytham Lodge, we will recruit the best people in the sector, providing stable and secure jobs to local people."
