About Paul Murphy Centre
The Paul Murphy Centre is a residential care home in Manchester providing a home for a varied group of people: older adults, younger adults, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. Having that range under one roof works because we build support around the individual rather than around a label. One person may need help with every part of the day and another may need very little, and both live here on the same footing. We ask each person what a good day looks like for them, we write it down in a way that makes sense to them, and we change it when they tell us to. Communication is central to the way we work. We use speech, signing, symbols, objects and plain familiarity, whatever suits the person, because that is what turns being told about a decision into actually making one. People here are supported to go out to work, college, clubs, appointments and family, and to be as involved in running the house as they want to be. Short respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we would be glad to show you round.
