topping out ceremony to celebrate the roof going on, were joined by
a representative of Abbey Santander, who are helping to fund the

directors Phil, Jacqui and Jodie McVay.

the upmarket facilities set in beautiful grounds will provide a
quality care provision." explained Jodie McVay of the Hyde Lea
Nursing Homes Group.
"There will be three independent 14 bed suites catering for
mental health needs including a private suite. Each of the suites
have a lounge, quiet room, kitchen and laundry. The large bedrooms
have their own wet room, hoisting facilities, profiling beds, T.V.
telephone and desk. Rooms on the ground floor have a patio
and in room kitchenette.
"We shall shortly be starting the recruitment process and job
opportunities will include vacancies for RMN's, Health Care
Assistants, Social Care Assistants, Administrators, Kitchen staff,
cleaners and laundry personnel," added Jodie.
The new unit will be an addition to the established Manor House
which has been a general nursing home since 1992 offering short and
long term nursing care including intermediate post operative,
respite, acquired brain injury, tracheostomy and high dependency.
The home also has a rehabilitation and palliative care unit called
the Hyde Lea Suite and is set amid attractive tree lined grounds
extended to provide a quality modern care facility merged with a
traditional period establishment.
