About Adlington Manor

Adlington Manor is a care home in Cheshire East, offering families in the area a local option when looking for nursing support for a loved one. The team there understands how much it means to find a place where someone you care about will feel comfortable and looked after. If you are exploring care options in this part of Cheshire, this page brings together the key details to help you make a well-informed decision.

This care home provides personal and nursing care to up to 70 people across two units—one offering general nursing care and another providing specialist support for people living with dementia. The service features single occupancy bedrooms across two floors, communal areas, adapted bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. At inspection, 61 people were using the service.

Inspectors found that risks to people were not always fully assessed and mitigated, with areas identified for improvement in how the service learns from incidents. Residents and families had mixed views about staffing levels. The service had not yet adequately addressed previous recommendations concerning the induction and introduction of agency staff.
