A CARE provider that runs nursing homes in both Northwich and Knutsford has confirmed the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines has resulted in a clear improvement in infection rates. Kingsley Healthcare, which was founded in 1999 by CEO Daya Thyan and his wife Sumi, started with one care home in Lowestoft in Suffolk. In the years since then it has grown rapidly and now employs nearly 1,800 staff, caring for 1,100 in 31 homes across the country. The company operate Redwalls Nursing Home in Sandiway and Sharston House Nursing Home in Knutsford, while also owning two other homes in Cheshire, at Congleton and Timperley. Since the pandemic began in March last year, the impact on the care and nursing home sector has been hugely significant, both in terms of the tragic deaths of residents who died after contracting the virus, and also the impact lockdown restrictions has had on visitors being able to see and spend time with their loved ones.
