About Half Acre Care Home
We are Half Acre Care Home, a residential care home in Bury, Greater Manchester. We are home to older people and to younger adults, including many people living with dementia, and we also offer respite stays for those who need care for a short while. We try to run the place as a home rather than an institution. There is a rhythm to the day, but it bends around people: breakfast when someone wakes, a quiet room for those who want one, company in the lounge for those who do not. Meals are cooked here, and we pay attention to what people actually eat rather than to what a menu says they should. Dementia shapes a good deal of our work. We aim for calm surroundings, familiar faces and staff who understand that behaviour is communication. When someone is unsettled, our first question is what they are trying to tell us rather than how to stop it. Families are part of the home. Visit when it suits you, join us for a meal, take a relative out for the afternoon, and tell us when you think something is not right, because you will often notice before we do. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep working at it rather than treating it as settled. If you are considering a move for yourself or a relative in the Bury area, come and look round, without an appointment if you would prefer to see us unprepared.
