About Away Day Care
Away Day Care is a residential care home in Trafford, Manchester, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism and people with a physical disability. We also offer respite care for planned short stays. This is a home rather than a placement. People have their own room and their own things, decide how they want to spend the day, and are supported to do more for themselves over time rather than having everything done for them. Cooking a meal you chose, doing the shopping, keeping your room how you like it, managing money and appointments, getting to college or work, seeing friends and family, and going out into Manchester when you feel like it: that is what a week is actually made of, and it is where most of our attention goes. How we communicate matters as much as what we do. We adapt to the person, whether that means signing, symbols, pictures, plain speech, extra time or a quieter room, because being properly understood is where everything else begins. We ask people what they want rather than assuming, and we take the answer seriously even when it is inconvenient. Where somebody has a physical disability we think carefully about how the house is arranged, how they move about safely and how equipment is used, so that the building works for the person rather than the other way round. Support is agreed with each person, written in a form they can understand, and reviewed honestly. If you are looking into a place or a short stay, please contact us.
