About Oldfield Bank Residential Care Home
We are a residential care home in Altrincham, providing a home for older people who need help with daily life, including those living with dementia. Our aim is an unhurried house. A good deal of care goes wrong simply because it is rushed, so we try to give people the time to wash, dress and eat at their own pace, and to sit with someone who wants to talk rather than moving straight on to the next task. Residents keep their own routines and belongings as far as we can manage, and they decide how much they want to join in with what is happening. Dementia care, as we have come to understand it, is mostly a matter of knowing the person. We ask families to tell us about working life, children, music, faith, old habits and small dislikes, because that knowledge is what allows a member of staff to reassure someone who is frightened or cannot place where they are. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. A planned break can be the thing that allows a relative to keep providing care at home for longer. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Families are welcome to visit whenever they wish, and we would far rather hear about a problem early than find out about it late. Do come and see the home for yourself before deciding anything.
