Hotel set to transform nursing home into beds for staff
LOS ANGELES: The burgeoning hotel sector is now increasingly subjugating care home assets to their benefit.
Thurlestone Hotel in Devon has acquired and renovated a nearby nursing home to provide more accommodation for its staff.
As part of its strategy to ‘retain and recruit highly-skilled and motivated employees’, the hotel purchased the vacant nursing home and spent the next six months transforming the building into a new staff accommodation house.
The new addition boasts 25 bedrooms and will be utilised the hotel’s current staff as well as attract new employees to the business, in a bid to combat the housing issue on the south coast.
The hotel posted on a LinkedIn: “As part of our strategy to retain and recruit highly skilled and motivated employees we purchased the vacant Nursing Home in the village and have spent 6 months renovating and improving the facility to bring it up to a standard that provides all the modern facilities expected in today’s market.”
