£9m Grappenhall care home completes

McGoff Construction has finished building the 70-bed Grappenhall Manor on the site of the former Springbrook pub off Knutsford Road.

New Care Group will operate the care home, which includes communal lounges, spa-assisted bathrooms, dining rooms, a hair salon, and a nail bar. There are also landscaped gardens for residents to enjoy and 30 parking spaces.

Grappenhall Manor offers services for those in need of dementia care, respite care, and nursing care.

The £9m Grappenhall care home was a team effort for the Altrincham-based McGoff Group, which includes both care home operator New Care and principal contractor McGoff Construction.

Other McGoff companies Panacea Building Systems and McGoff Group Facilities Services also worked on the project.

“We have successfully carved a niche within the UK care sector and are now the contractor of choice for several leading care home operators,” said Dean Johnston, group managing director of McGoff Construction Services, the McGoff Group arm that includes both McGoff Construction, Panacea Building Systems, and McGoff Group Facilities Services.

“Our approach is smooth and seamless with little risk, and we have a proven track record of delivering exceptional care facilities utilising our off-site lightweight steel frame solution on budget and within the agreed time frame,” Johnston continued.

“From acquiring the land to designing the scheme, securing planning consent, and building, we manage each project in its entirety before handing over state-of-the-art care facilities to satisfied clients.”

Grappenhall Manor’s completion puts New Care’s portfolio of care homes to 14. New Care is also working with McGoff Construction on its 64-bed care home in Egerton, which is set to open by the end of this year. Work is set to begin on a Bowdon care home later this month.

Cath Fairhurst, chief operating officer at New Care, said: “Our partnership with McGoff Construction is perfect as we collaborate closely on all aspects of each and every care facility, particularly choosing suitable sites and developing design plans, ensuring the care home is exactly as we want it.

“With both businesses part of the McGoff Group, we will continue to combine clinical requirements with build excellence and look forward to the handover of the facility in Egerton later this year, as well as progress on site in Bowdon.”
