Finding the right care home in Manchester

Choosing a care home for a loved one can be difficult, however with over 140 care homes in Manchester, and 90 rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), there’s plenty to choose from. Here are a few of our top tips to help you narrow your options and find the right care home.

Location, location, location

When choosing a care home we find that most people want to stay close to home, in an area they know and love, however it is also important that friends and family are able to easily visit. Balancing these needs can sometimes be quite a challenge, however with over 140 care homes in Manchester you should be spoilt for choice. Manchester has excellent public transport, often with bus stops and railway stations within walking distance to care homes, and of course many of the homes offer parking facilities. It is our advice to speak to any care homes you are interested in to find out specific transport options near them.

How to get the 'at home' feeling

Once you have decided on an area, it is important to consider the facilities available at the care home, and think about what would help make your loved one feel settled and at home. Whilst most of the care homes in Manchester will allow you to move in furniture or to add personal touches to the residents room, you need to consider what your loved one enjoys doing with their days and find a home that can accommodate this.

Care homes with gardens

How important is outdoor space? Does your loved one like to look out at the wildlife in a garden or are they green fingered and like to help grow plants or vegetables? With over 100 of the care homes in Manchester offering garden space there will be something to suit. Whether that is Lightbowne Hall which has lovely landscaped gardens to sit in and enjoy the sun, or the Mary & Joseph House where they can sit and listen to football at Etihad Stadium and reminisce about the great games from when they were young, Manchester has something to meet everyone's needs.

Pet friendly care homes

Does your loved one have a pet and is worried about leaving them when they move into a care home, or do they have allergies to pet hair? With over 70 pet-friendly care homes in Manchester, it is recommended to understand the home’s pet policy in advance, as some allow pets to move in with their owner and others, like Wellington Lodge in Cheetham, allow pets to visit on appointment.

Care home activities and days out

Finally take time to research the different facilities and activities that care homes in Manchester organise for their residents, to ensure your loved one will enjoy their time there. For example at the Manorhey Care Centre, just north of Trafford, they run frequent cooking, gardening and exercise classes.They also have several arts and crafts events each week, cinema evenings, food tasting experiences and live music, to name only some of the activities on offer. Our advice is to think about what makes your loved one happy and be sure to ask any potential care homes how they would help accommodate this.
