About Norwood Drive
Norwood Drive is a residential care home in Altrincham. We support older people needing help with daily living, including those living with dementia, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. We also support some younger adults. That is a wide range, and what holds it together is planning around the individual rather than a house routine everybody has to fit. We find out how somebody wants their day to run, what tends to help when things are difficult and who we should contact, and we treat that knowledge as the substance of the care. For residents living with dementia we keep routines steady and faces familiar. Where sight or hearing is impaired we keep belongings where they are expected and check we have been understood. Where somebody needs help to move, we take the time that doing it safely and comfortably requires. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Families in Trafford are welcome to visit. Please contact us to arrange a time.
