New Care Home Directory for Yorkshire Launched

Tadcaster firm Kaleton Ltd today announced the launch of a new online Care Home Directory Initiative serving the whole of Yorkshire. The web site, CareHomesYorkshire.com, aims to make essential information about accessing care services easily available to everyone in the county.

“Traditionally, details of local Care Homes have only been available from social workers and councils, usually in paper format” said Keith Madeley MBE, the company’s President and Chairman of the Yorkshire Society. “It is not possible for the public to search through their leaflets easily, locate Care Homes in a specific postcode area or compare homes side by side. By bringing Care Home information onto the web and adding modern database search technology we have made it far easier for people to find exactly what they need, when they need it.”

In addition to a searchable directory of care providers, the web site features articles and advice about choosing Care Homes, accessing funding and other related issues. The public can also post reviews of the Care Homes thus favouring those providing the best levels of care.

As well as providing a long overdue service to the public, the site has a section aimed at benefitting the Care Home operators. This facilitates networking within the care sector as well as access to key suppliers.

“The CareHomesYorkshire.com web site is allowing us to effectively engage with local people who need our care services. It is also a great source of information when our care homes need to find suppliers or recruit staff” said Patrick Roche, Managing Director of Leeds based Care Home group Roche Healthcare.

Readers are encouraged to visit the new web site at www.carehomesyorkshire.com
