About Abbotsford Care Home - Manchester

Families searching for care in the Manchester area will find a warm and welcoming environment where comfort and dignity are at the heart of everything the team does. It is the kind of place where residents are truly known as individuals, giving families the reassurance they need during what can be a significant life transition.

This Manchester care home provides personal care to 30 residents aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 40 people. Following a decision in May 2021 to transition from nursing to residential care only, the service now focuses on personal care while residents' health needs are supported by external health professionals. Inspectors found that medicines were being managed safely and systems were in place to protect people from abuse.
