About Us

We are Little Heaton, a residential care home in Rochdale. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability.

What we provide is residential care rather than nursing care, and we say so plainly to families at the outset so that nobody moves somewhere unable to meet their needs. Within it, we help with washing, dressing and moving about safely, support people with medication, provide proper meals and make sure nobody spends the day alone unless that is their preference.

The home runs at the pace of its residents. Nobody is woken to suit a rota, mealtimes bend around the person, and how the day is spent is a matter for the individual. Some like the lounge and the conversation that fills it, others would rather keep to their own room.

Dementia care here depends on knowing the person. We learn about the work somebody did, the family they raised and the routines that settle them, and we work with all of that rather than correcting anybody about the present.

Our staff know residents well enough to notice when somebody is quieter or eating less than usual, and we ring families early rather than waiting. Visitors are welcome whenever they want to come.

Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Please get in touch to look round.
