Torsion Care is pleased to confirm terms have been agreed with Banks Group for a new Care Home at Mount Oswald in Durham.

The care home will provide 74 ensuite bedrooms within a three and a half-storey development in a secure, comfortable facility that will be designed to provide high quality care and wellness for its residents and staff.

Torsion Care Development Director Ian Ward said in a recent interview with Banks Group: “This is a site that we’ve been working on with Banks for some time, and we’re extremely pleased to have reached this agreement.”

“Mount Oswald provides a high quality, well-presented location with excellent transport links and fits in perfectly with our growing portfolio of care facilities in Yorkshire and the Midlands.”

“Our business model works around clusters of different properties operating together across specific geographical locations, and with a number of other regional locations already under consideration, it’s a formula that we’re looking to repeat here, with the Mount Oswald care home sitting at the centre of our North East operations.”

A planning application has been submitted to Durham County Council and subject to planning approval being obtained, construction activities are due to start on site early in 2024.
