The Mayor of Bolton, Cllr Mohammed Ayub, along with the council’s cabinet member for adult social care, Cllr Linda Thomas, have officially opened a new £13 million care facility in Bolton.

Built on the former site of Egerton House Hotel, New Care’s Egerton Manor is a purpose-built, 64 bed care centre providing residential, nursing, dementia and respite care.

Cllr Thomas said: “The mayor and I are delighted to officially open Egerton Manor and meet the New Care team. This will become an incredible asset for the people of Bolton, the facilities are superb and there’s simply nothing like this currently in our borough. It’s great to see how the development team has retained the recognisable frontage of the Egerton House Hotel which is now protected for many years to come. We wish the team the best of luck with the home in the future.”

Each of the 64 fully furnished bedrooms features an en-suite private wet room and the home boasts a selection of communal lounges, reading rooms and dining rooms, spa-assisted bathrooms, a nail bar, hair salon and access to landscaped gardens and outdoor terraces. 

Commissioning director at New Care, Dawn Collett, added: “It has been our pleasure to welcome the mayor and Cllr Thomas to Egerton Manor.  We were delighted that they were able to perform the official opening for us and spend some time chatting with our staff team and first residents. It was a great morning.”

Egerton Manor is recruiting locally with approximately 100 jobs expected to be created over the next 12 months in multiple roles, including nurses, carers, hospitality, housekeeping, wellbeing and activities, maintenance and catering.
