Berrycroft Manor in Romiley, Stockport, provides residential care for people living with dementia, whether they are in the early stages or have more advanced and complex needs. It is run by Berrycroft Care, a family-run group of four care homes that has been caring for older people for 40 years.
Dementia care at our home in Romiley, Stockport
Berrycroft Manor is spread across three floors and has 78 single bedrooms, each with its own en-suite wet room. The home is divided into residential units and dementia units, and the care staff are trained to support people at different stages of dementia. Because dementia affects everyone differently, some residents on the residential side may also be living with the condition to some extent.
Every resident has a care plan and risk assessments written around them, covering their health and care needs as well as their routines, the things they enjoy and the people who matter to them. Families are invited to help put the care plan together. Residents are welcome to bring their own belongings and smaller pieces of furniture to make their room feel familiar. Bedrooms already have fitted wardrobes and desks, so the team can talk families through what will fit.
Day-to-day life for residents living with dementia
Life at Berrycroft Manor is built around things residents already know and enjoy. Inside the home there is a pub, a hair salon and a coffee shop, and outside there are accessible gardens. Meals are cooked on site each day by the home's own kitchen team.
A wellbeing programme runs through the week with regular activities and days out, and in August the home's Garden Party raised £1,135.64 for Alzheimer's Society, the charity chosen by residents. Please visit our Facebook page to see examples of the types of activities we do.
Respite care for people with dementia in Stockport
Berrycroft Manor also offers short respite stays for people living with dementia, which can give a family carer a break or help someone recover after a stay in hospital. A respite stay is also a gentle way for someone to get to know the home before deciding on a longer move. Respite stays are arranged in the same way as permanent ones, starting with an enquiry from the family, followed by an assessment to make sure the home can meet the person's needs, and then a decision on the stay.
Dementia care across Berrycroft Care
Berrycroft Manor is one of four Berrycroft Care homes, along with Brabyns House in Marple, Walshaw Hall in Tottington and Beechwood Lodge in Norden. Each home has its own page on this website, and families who would like to compare homes, or need care closer to another part of Greater Manchester, are welcome to visit any of them.
Questions families often ask about dementia care
Does Berrycroft Manor provide nursing care?
Berrycroft Manor is a residential care home and does not provide nursing care, so care is given by the home's own trained care staff. A GP visits every Thursday and sees any residents the team feels should be seen, and Mastercall provides GP cover out of hours. District nurses usually visit every day, as some residents need medication given by a nurse, and they will see other residents on request while they are at the home. If someone's needs change and they need nursing care in future, the team will talk this through with the family.
What does dementia care at Berrycroft Manor cost?
Berrycroft Manor charges £1,570 a week for all stays, including dementia care and respite, whatever the level of care needed or the length of stay. Berrycroft Manor accepts residents who fund their own care, residents funded by the local authority where a top-up covers the difference between the council's rate and the home's fees, and residents funded by NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our guide, How much does a care home cost in Stockport?, explains how funding works.
