Description:
Mulroy’s Seaview Nursing Home
The home has recently been refurbished to a high standard (all en-suite) with excellent facilities for our family of residents, of both older and younger categories.
The original Mulroy Nursing home was established in 1985 in the town of Normanby not far from Redcar and provided a home for adults experiencing mental health problems and requiring the support of RMN’s After nearly twenty years the residents’’ moved to a new home in Redcar which opened in November 2004. This was a welcome opportunity for all concerned, in an improved location that fulfilled all of the new standards and since this time we have progressed to 27 en-suite single rooms.
The new name Mulroy’s Seaview is an amalgamation of two names as we moved to the new town overlooking the sea. Redcar is a seaside town that was a popular tourist resort in Edwardian times and throughout the last century. It is situated on the North East Coast and is just twenty minutes away from the Yorkshire moors in our 7-seater people carrier. It is a great location that everybody enjoys.
Ownership and Management
David McArthur is owner and manager (RMN, RGN) and has been with the family of residents since 1990. His ambition is to stay with the folks and the staff forever. He is happy to say that the forty staff are the best team he has ever worked with, and that life with the family of residents is enriching. The home is also supported by Kay McArthur (wife and business partner) who works full time at the home.
The Ethos
The family run home is one home and one home only which enjoys freedom from shareholders or co-owners and is not part of a group. The manager is available always for decisions to be made to support any worthwhile initiative with no bureaocracy or messing about. The home has a homely and welcoming atmosphere and has generous proportions to be enjoyed.
The business approach fostered is that the owners are paid from the business after everything else is paid for and not the other way round so that everything that should be paid for the homes expenses and function is achieved with a generous approach.
The home has ‘a big mouth to feed’ with a large team to meet it’s needs but with effective organisation and good care at the point of delivery whether it is presenting a meal, a greeting to a resident, a handshake, we like to think it can feel small, personalised and nobody needs to be rushing around because we are well staffed.
