First residents welcomed to Tŷ Croes Atti in Flintshire
Flintshire County Council has officially opened its newest care home, Tŷ Croes Atti, marking a major milestone in the county’s provision of high-quality care for older people.
The state-of-the-art facility, built on the site of the Flint former community hospital, has now welcomed its first residents.
The £multi-million project is a partnership between Flintshire County Council, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), Willmott Dixon and the Welsh Government. It provides a modern home for 56 older people and delivers integrated health and social care services managed jointly by BCUHB and the Council’s social services teams.
Councillor Christine Jones, Cabinet Member for Social Services, said: “We are thrilled to welcome our first residents to Tŷ Croes Atti. This new care home reflects our ongoing commitment to providing excellent care and support in Flintshire. We are proud to offer a warm and welcoming place where residents can feel at home, safe and valued.”
The opening represents a significant investment in Flintshire’s care infrastructure, ensuring residents have access to high-quality, local support.
Funding has been provided through the Welsh Government’s Integration and Rebalancing Capital Fund (IRCF), Housing with Care Fund (HCF), and Flintshire County Council’s capital programme.
Minister for Children and Social Care, Dawn Bowden, said: “It’s brilliant to hear the first residents have moved into their new, high-quality home at Tŷ Croes Atti.
“The project is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when organisations work together and I’m delighted our funding has secured for Flintshire the sort of community capacity we need for the new, integrated models of care we are prioritising across Wales.”
Mike Lane, Operations Director for Willmott Dixon, said: “What fantastic news that Croes Atti care home residents have now moved into their new home. Our team are privileged to have spent time with residents, their families and staff. We’re proud to have played our part in helping deliver first-class health and social care for the people of Flintshire.”
BCUHB Chief Operating Officer, Tehmeena Ajmal, added: “I’m absolutely delighted Tŷ Croes Atti has welcomed its first residents.
“We are proud to be partners with Flintshire County Council, Welsh Government and Willmott Dixon in this important development. It underlines our commitment to our communities and working collaboratively to provide the appropriate care they need.
“Tŷ Croes Atti represents another vital step on the journey to providing the right care, in the right places, at the right times for the people of North Wales.”
Flintshire County Council confirmed that recruitment is under way for care and support workers to join the new team at Tŷ Croes Atti. The Council said successful applicants will receive a full induction, training and ongoing support from an experienced management team.
