About Harmony House

Harmony House is a residential care home in Salford, Manchester, supporting older people who need help with daily living, along with younger adults, residents living with dementia or a mental health condition, and people with a physical disability. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. We aim to give people an ordinary life with the support they need behind it. Residents decide when to get up, how to spend their time, what they eat and how much company they want. Our staff take time to learn what settles a particular person and what unsettles them, which matters a great deal for anyone living with dementia or managing a mental health condition. We should be open with you about our last inspection. The Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We have not tried to explain that away. We accepted the findings, we have a clear improvement plan and we are working through it, with closer oversight of the areas the inspectors raised. We would rather tell you this directly and show you the work than have you learn it from somewhere else. We stay in close contact with GPs, community mental health teams and district nurses, and we keep families properly informed about how their relative is getting on. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time. If you are considering the home, please come, look around and ask us the difficult questions.
