About Genesis Care Home

Genesis is a residential care home in Macclesfield. We are home to older people, both for the longer term and for shorter respite stays when a family carer needs a rest. Our priorities are plain: food worth eating, warm rooms, laundry that comes back with the right name in it, help that arrives without a long wait, and privacy when privacy is what somebody wants. Residents set their own hours rather than fitting ours, and an afternoon with nothing arranged in it is a perfectly good afternoon. We take real trouble over knowing people. The working life, the family, which chair is theirs, how they take their tea, whether they want the news on. Those details are how somebody stays a person here rather than becoming a resident, and none can be learned from paperwork. Respite guests get the same preparation as anybody else. We ask beforehand how somebody likes things done, since a short stay leaves no room for guesswork. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Families are welcome to arrive unannounced and see us on an ordinary day, which is the only visit that tells you anything.
