Care home operator, New Care has opened the doors to Cheadle Manor, its latest state-of-the-art care facility located on Stockport Road in Cheadle.
In accordance with Covid-19 restrictions, a socially distanced red ribbon cutting event took place to mark the occasion with Chairman Dominic Kay, Chief Operating Officer Cath Fairhurst, Commissioning Director Dawn Collett and Cheadle Manor’s registered manager Janet Lewis in attendance.
The new £15 million Cheadle Manor care facility has been expertly designed and will feature 68 private bedrooms, each fully furnished and boasting an en suite wet room. There will also be several stylish communal lounges and dining rooms, as well as spa assisted bathrooms, a hairdresser and nail bar and beautifully landscaped gardens.
Cheadle Manor will provide a clinical offering that will include residential, nursing and specialist dementia services in a luxurious and safe environment. New Care will operate the facility, officially welcoming residents throughout December.
Approximately 80 new jobs will be created at Cheadle Manor, a welcomed boost to the local economy during a difficult time.
Further strengthening its position, Cheadle Manor complements New Care’s existing care facilities in Cheshire, including Bramhall Manor (71 beds) which opened in March and was commissioned in its entirety by the NHS Stockport Foundation Trust, NHS Stockport CCG, Stepping Hill Hospital and Stockport Council as part of a joint borough-wide plan to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic.
This latest care facility will continue to ease the pressure on the NHS in the locality, offering a solution for the shortfall of hospital beds during the busy winter months.
Chris McGoff, CEO at New Care, commented:
We are thrilled to open the doors to Cheadle Manor. Build has progressed well during the year and the care home looks stunning. We are very much forward to welcoming residents later this month.
“At a time when care home beds continue to be in huge demand across Cheshire, we are pleased to be delivering a further 68 beds in the region, which will not only be used to care for the elderly, but also help the NHS.”
