Family firm Lidder Care, which is expanding its services to include home care, has opened new headquarters in Mansfield town centre.

The company, which has served Mansfield and Ashfield for more than 30 years, said the office would be a central hub, welcoming those seeking information about care services and anyone interested in learning more about a career in care.

The office will also support the integration of Lidder Care’s new home care service, overseeing community care offerings such as companionship care and visiting care, along with a capability to provide continuity through respite care.

Manjas Lidder, managing director, said: “This new office, located in the heart of Mansfield town centre, marks a significant milestone as Lidder Care moves into providing care for people within their own homes.

“As a result of having been trusted by so many local families for over 30 years, we receive many requests to assist relatives who may need some extra support at home, be that through visiting, companionship or live-in care.

“We are delighted to add this offering to our services and continue to give back to our local community.

“The new office, alongside our recent corporate sponsorship of Mansfield Town FC, further increases our high street presence, allowing us to offer a range of job opportunities in the area and continue to support local employment as we expand our team and service offering.”

Operating in Mansfield and Kirkby, Lidder Care runs Newgate Lodge Care Home and Lowmoor Nursing Home, with both homes rated Good by the CQC.

The company has also recently announced plans to extend Newgate Lodge Care Home from 60 to 84 beds.

Jay Rowlinson, chief executive of Mansfield BID, added: “It’s fantastic to have Lidder Care set up office in Mansfield town centre. They are a well renowned and quality business that cares for and bring assistance and happiness to the elderly.

“It’s good to have them bring their centre of operations into the town and join an ever-growing number of quality and successful businesses that are choosing Mansfield as the best place to operate from.”
