RESIDENTS have raised objections to plans to demolish an Ilkley care home and replace it with a new-build care facility. Barchester Healthcare Ltd have acquired Hollycroft Care Home and want to knock down the building at 16 Hebers Ghyll Drive, Ilkley, and replace it with a new-build 31-bed care home with associated car parking, landscaping and amenity space provision. The building is not listed but it lies within Ilkley’s Conservation Area where it is described as a ‘key unlisted historic building’. The Edwardian villa was built in 1904 and was converted to a home for the elderly in 1979. It remained a care home for four decades before its closure by its then owners Four Seasons Health Care in 2017.
There is nothing normal about this. The Herald contacted a number of other firms including HC-One, Care Concern Group and Balhousie. A spokesman for the Care Concern Group said it was too early to say if the policy would be continued but said it would be guided by the government and resident preferences. HC-One said it would continue the current system for the time being. Kelly Anderson, who father is in a home run by Four Seasons, said: Under no circumstances will I accept that I must make an appointment to visit my dad for the rest of his time in a care home.
