TWO registered nurses passionate about caring for the elderly have been appointed as managers of the new Statham Manor care home set to open in Lymm this month.

Farai Hanyane and Hannah Sparks have been announced as the registered manager and deputy manager of the promising new site ran by New Care.

The driven duo will take responsibility of the day-to-day running of the home which sits on the iconic former site of Lymm Hotel.

Statham Manor is part of a wider multigenerational project spearheaded by construction company, The Mcgoff Group, with the complex set to be home to retirement apartments and a nursery too.

Before taking on the huge role, Farai worked for a large corporate company for more than 14 years, progressing from nurse to operations manager covering homes across England, Scotland and Wales.

“After working in the corporate world, I was attracted to New Care as it was a smaller and more intimate company that would allow me to be my own person, connect with my team and deliver a wonderful quality of care to the people living in our home. 

“In addition to being beautifully designed inside and out, Statham Manor is a modern, high tech care facility which is every manager’s dream allowing us to access all of the detailed information that we need to care for residents quickly and at the push of a button.”

Hannah began her career at a nursing home before moving to St Rocco’s Hospice in Warrington where she focussed on providing specialist palliative care, both holistic symptom management and end-of-life care to patients and support to their loved ones.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting our new residents and the wider team,” she said. “It’s exciting that we are all starting out on this new venture at the same time as a new family. 

“I have loved learning everything I can about care and developing professionally over the years and hope to bring so much of this to my new role.”

The pair are both self-confessed fitness fanatics. Farai trains up to five times a week and ensures she completes a 10k walk every morning.

While mum-of-five, Hannah has a ‘scruffy’ Jack Russell, three cats and a horse that steal her remaining spare time and the nurse also enjoys going for walks and hitting the gym.

Commissioning director at New Care, Dawn Collett, said: “I am delighted to welcome Farai and Hannah to Statham Manor and am confident that they will work together to develop and establish the new home, delivering exceptional care for our residents, getting to know their families and the wider local community.”

Open now, Statham Manor has been ‘expertly designed’ as a modern care facility fully furnished with each room including an ensuite wet room.

Comfortable communal lounges and luxurious dining rooms promise an at home feel for future residents, along with the unique accessibility of a nail bar and hairdresser only a stone’s throw away.

“We are both looking forward to being part of Lymm’s wonderful community, building a team that celebrates the wonders of people and provides a quality of care that is delightful, establishing Statham Manor as the local care home of choice and eventually achieving an Outstanding CQC rating,” Farai added.
