Neale Court Care Home in North Hykeham has officially celebrated the reopening of its newly enhanced facilities, following a series of upgrades to key areas of the home.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on Thursday, 5th June and was led by the deputy mayor of North Hykeham, councillor Catherine Nnamdi, who was joined by chairman Mr Kachra and home manager Kayleigh Moss.
To mark the occasion, residents, families, friends, and members of the local community were invited to come together and explore the home’s improved spaces—including an additional lounge and dining area, more bedrooms, a welcoming new reception area, and the stylish Coffee Club café.
Guests were treated to a delicious buffet, live music and tours of the home, giving everyone the chance to see how the updates will enhance everyday life for residents and visitors alike. The atmosphere was full of warmth and celebration, with the new Coffee Club café proving a big hit for those looking to relax with tea, coffee and cake.
Speaking at the event, deputy mayor councillor Catherine Nnamdi said: “I think I can speak for all staff and what it means to have this refurbishment, what it means to work in this area and being the deputy mayor for North Hykeham, and for serving as a councillor in the area for a couple of years.
“I know that for our older people, who have many needs, you are going to be part of the beating heart of North Hykeham, thank you for being here and thank you for the refurbishment and the great works that have been done.”
Co-CEO of the award-winning Country Court group Aly Khan Kachra added: “Huge thanks to Kayleigh and all the staff in the home, I know it’s always difficult living around building work, but it’s all been worthwhile, because what an amazing home you can now offer to your current residents and future residents of North Hykeham.
“Well done and I hope you continue the philosophy of what we are trying to achieve here, long into the future, so thank you Kayleigh.”
Kayleigh Moss, home manager of Neale Court, said: “This is a celebration of the hard work, dedication, and commitment that have gone into making this transformation possible. Thank you to MV Construction for their hard work throughout the refurbishment process, ensuring minimal disruption and helping the home continue to run smoothly.
“A heartfelt thank you also goes to our wonderful residents and their families for their patience and understanding during the renovation works, and of course, to our incredible team here at Neale Court.
“Throughout the changes, they have continued to deliver exceptional care to our residents with dedication, compassion, and professionalism. And I would like to thank our Deputy Mayor, Councillor Catherine Nnamdi for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and officially open Neale Court.”
The afternoon wrapped up with a community raffle, with residents helping to draw the winning tickets. Local business Priestley and Cockett, Dignity Funeral Directors in Lincoln, kindly donated the top prize and joined in the day’s celebrations.
