A brick laying ceremony at a new luxury care home in Thurnby, Leicester marked the first official milestone of the £21 million building development to provide the community with exceptional residential, dementia and respite care.
Thurnby Fields care home, based on Uppingham Road, part of the Cinnamon Care Collection which, for the last eight years, has been named one of the Top 20 Care Home Groups in the UK by carehome.co.uk, the TrustPilot of the care home industry. The care home will open by the end of next year, with 63 ensuite bedrooms and 10 luxurious one-bedroom care suites. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, it will also have a cinema room, hair and beauty salon, a café/bar, a library/lounge and a private dining room.
Mark Shockledge, Operations Manager, Cinnamon Care Collection comments, “We chose to build our 24th care home in Thurnby due to the growing need for high quality care homes in this area.
“Thurnby Fields will offer the same level of excellent care in an equally high-quality environment as the other care homes in our group.
“We chose this location to support and complement our growing portfolio across the Midlands and the rest of the UK, and we are very excited to be opening in Thurnby and to play an active role in the local community.”
Up to 60 full and part-time jobs will be created for people from the local community. Vacancies will range from housekeeper and carers to heads of departments, kitchen assistants and gardeners – recruitment will start in spring 2026.
The marketing suite for the new care home will open in summer 2026.
