A nursing home that sits between Skipton and Keighley in Cross Hills, has appointed a new registered manager.

Nicola Parker, who is a registered general nurse, with a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership Health & Social Care, has more than 12 years industry experience. She has joined Beanlands Nursing Home, which is owned and operated by Saltaire-based Czajka Care Group.

As registered manager, Nicola will be caring for 45 residents and managing a team of 43 at Beanlands Nursing Home. Konrad Czajka, managing director at Czajka Care Group, said: “We are really pleased to welcome Nicola back to Czajka Care Group. She is a caring and compassionate person, who is self-motivated and incredibly reliable. Professional, well-educated and with all the relevant experience, she was the ideal candidate for this role.”

Nicola said: “To be able to combine my nursing and managerial skills in this new role is ideal. Beanlands Nursing Home benefits from having a highly experienced and dedicated team, as well as an array of top-quality amenities and inclusive activities programme. With residents from across Skipton and Keighley, as well as from the likes of Ilkley and Addingham and beyond, it’s a delight to be heading up the home. I am responsible for the day to day management of the home, and will focus on delivering the very highest level of care packages for our residents.”
