About The Hamlet

The Hamlet is a residential care home in Eccles supporting a broad mix of people. We care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we also support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults. That range works because our method stays consistent. We take time to learn how somebody communicates, what their day ought to contain and what tends to make a difficult one, and then we build support around that rather than fitting everybody into the same routine. Where a person can take on more for themselves, we make room for it instead of stepping in from habit. Life here belongs to the people who live in it. People get up when they are ready, keep their own things around them and spend their time on what genuinely interests them. Respite stays are available too, for people needing short term support and for families who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The better test is whether people here look at ease. Visitors are welcome.
