About Fairfield Care
Fairfield Care in Altrincham is a residential care home supporting older people and younger adults. Our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, and mental health needs, and we also offer respite stays. With that range of people we build round individuals rather than running one routine and expecting everybody to fit it. Before anyone moves in we spend time with them and whoever they want involved, learning how they like their days to go, what they manage perfectly well themselves, where help would be welcome and what they would rather we left alone. That becomes the plan, and it is theirs to change. Help with personal care, medication and health appointments is given as the person has asked and written down precisely, so that the same thing happens whoever is on shift. Consistency is what allows people to relax, and it matters especially for anyone who finds change difficult. Where somebody communicates in their own way we learn it and record it. With dementia we lean on knowing a person well, gathering their history with their family and keeping it current. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition we aim to be steady and clear rather than unpredictable. Meals are cooked here with real choice. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall, and visitors are welcome.
