Build is under way on a new privately funded £11 million care facility in Grappenhall in Cheshire, with practical completion confirmed for March next year.

Altrincham-based care home operator New Care started remediation works on the former pub site towards the end of last year.

The new 70-bed home will offer residential, nursing and dementia care and feature fully furnished en suite bedrooms, communal lounges and dining rooms, spa-assisted bathrooms, a hair salon, nail bar and landscaped front and rear gardens.

New Care’s commissioning director Dawn Collett said: “Work in Grappenhall is going really well, the foundations are in and brickwork has commenced meaning that locals will soon start to see the building appear above the hoarding. Over the course of the next 12 months the building will really start to take shape and we look forward to welcoming our first residents to their beautiful new home in March 2023.”

New Care has a second care home under construction in Lymm and homes in Wilmslow and Adel due to complete this year. Principal contractor, McGoff Construction (New Care’s sister company and also part of the McGoff Group), is managing all build programmes
