About Us

Wilfred Geere House is a residential care home in Bolton. We are home to older people who need help with daily life, including many living with dementia, and we welcome people for respite stays, whether to recover after a spell in hospital or to give a family carer a break. Moving into a care home usually follows a hard few months, so we take the settling in gently. We ask about the routines of a lifetime, the food somebody actually likes, how they take their tea and whether they would rather be up early or have a lie in, and we build around that instead of expecting people to fit in with us. Rooms belong to the people in them, furnished with their own things, and we knock before entering. The days are not heavily organised. Company, conversation, music and a trip out for those who want it, the newspaper and peace for those who do not. For residents living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work, so we keep our team settled and learn each person's history rather than just their care needs. We work with local GPs and community nurses so health changes are dealt with early, and families are kept properly informed, including when the news is difficult. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. You are welcome to visit at any reasonable time.
