A York building that once housed a troubled care home is in the hands of new owners who have hailed a “new beginning” for the site.
Schoen Clinic UK acquired the lease for the entire Minster Grange Care Home building, in Haxby Road, from the Maria Mallaband Care Group in January.
It followed the closure of Minster Grange – a residential care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 62 people – that month after it was rated 'inadequate' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), meaning the watchdog deemed it to be unsafe.
Now, the name of the site has been changed to Wellen Court, Shoen Clinic York to reflect the new ownership.
“We have now changed the name of the building to Wellen Court, Schoen Clinic York to allow a new beginning for us in York,” a spokesperson for the health group – which also has facilities in London and Birmingham – told The Press, adding: “We are not connected to the Maria Mallaband Care Group.”
