The Norton Lees Care Home community celebrated as residents, families, schoolchildren, healthcare professionals, and neighbours came together to mark the official opening of our newly revitalised care home in Sheffield, south Yorkshire.
The vibrant open day signalled a bold new era for Norton Lees Care Home under our stewardship as a leading, family-run care provider with a national presence and over 38 years of delivering high-quality, person-centred care.
The acquisition of Norton Lees represents a major milestone for Agincare, establishing a strong foothold in Sheffield and the wider northern region. This expansion builds on Agincare’s national presence and ethos of delivering high-quality, person-centred care. The official ribbon was cut by Adam Luckhurst, Director and eldest son of Agincare’s founder Derek Luckhurst, alongside residents Doreen and Audrey, pupils from Mundella Primary, and the care home team (pictured below).
Adam said:
Welcoming Norton Lees into the Agincare family is a real honour. Wherever we go, we raise standards, build trust, and become a thriving part of the local community. Norton Lees will be no different.
Our care home in Sheffield
Guests were treated to a warm welcome featuring a sparkling drinks reception, a delicious home-cooked buffet, and a heart-warming performance by the Mundella Primary School choir. A charity raffle added to the feel-good atmosphere, raising funds for the school’s PTA and cementing Norton Lees’ commitment to its community connections in Sheffield. New Home Manager Phill Seddon (pictured below), a qualified nurse with two decades of health and social care experience, led the celebrations with his team. He said:
It’s been a fantastic day. We’re thrilled to begin this new chapter alongside our residents, families, and fantastic care team. My focus is on creating a stable, supportive, and joyful home – where every resident feels valued and truly at home.
Purpose-built to accommodate up to 80 residents, Norton Lees Care Home offers personalised care in a peaceful residential setting, welcoming both privately and publicly funded residents. Guests on the day shared heartfelt reflections on the positive changes. Margaret Price, niece of resident Doreen (both pictured below) said:
My Auntie Doreen has been here for two years, and I’ve seen a huge increase in the mood and togetherness at the home. The carers are amazing and you can tell that she feels settled, it’s her home and you can sense the friendships among residents.
The latest addition of Norton Lees continues our successful legacy of acquisitions from local authorities, charities, public sector partners, and independent organisations over the past 37 years.
