The ribbon was cut by the Mayor of Wakefield alongside Home Manager Mark Rice-Thomson and newly moved in resident, Karen Watson. They were also joined by residents and colleagues from Exemplar Health Care’s neighbouring homes Fairburn View and Fairburn Vale.

Mark Rice-Thompson, Commissioning Home Manager for Kingfisher View, said “I’m delighted to be opening this innovative new service and to be providing high quality care in the years to come. I am really looking forward to working with our great team, our residents and health and social care professionals to make every day better for our residents.”

Kingfisher View is a beautiful home and has been designed with the residents’ needs and wants at the forefront. Kingfisher View, joins Exemplar Health Care’s two other Castleford homes, Fairburn Mews and Fairburn Vale, and will be home to some of our community’s most vulnerable people and many local people will also work here.
