A NEW £15 million care home is set to create 100 jobs.
Construction is well under way at Wilmslow Manor Care Home on Handforth Road.
External brickwork and roof tiling is now complete meaning the building is now watertight.
A team of contractors and tradesmen are on site working hard on the interior to ensure the development remains on schedule.
The 63-bed facility is due to open in mid September.

The facility will offer residential, dementia and 24 hour nursing care in a safe and comfortable environment.
Part of New Care, Wilmslow Manor will also boost the local economy, creating approximately 100 new jobs across a variety of disciplines, including nurses and carers, hospitality, front of house and maintenance.
Dawn Collett, commissioning director at New Care, said: “Work on site is progressing well and with just two months to go until practical completion, Wilmslow Manor is starting to look good and come to life.
“The care facility has been expertly designed to offer outstanding residential, dementia and 24 hour nursing care in a stylish environment, and we are already starting to recruit the 100-strong team.”
Wilmslow Manor will feature fully furnished, private bedrooms with en suite wet rooms, as well as several communal lounges and dining rooms.
It will also have a spa assisted bathrooms, nail salon and hairdresser.
Landscaped gardens and outdoor terraces plus high end hotel-style services are set to ensure continued quality of life and enjoyment for residents.
