About Us

Ann Challis is a residential care home in Trafford, Manchester, supporting older adults and some younger adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays, and many of our residents live with dementia.

A care home ought to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been placed, and the difference shows up in ordinary things. Getting up at an hour that suits you. Your own furniture and pictures around you. Being asked what you would like rather than told what is happening. Carrying on with familiar habits for as long as health allows.

Our dementia care rests on familiarity and patience above all. The same staff, a routine that holds its shape, surroundings that make sense, and time given rather than grudged when somebody needs longer to find their words. Where a resident is distressed we look for the cause, because there almost always is one, whether pain, confusion, boredom or fear.

Respite guests become part of the household from the day they arrive. For many people a short stay is their first experience of a care home, and it should leave them reassured rather than relieved it is over.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good.

Families are welcome to visit without arranging it beforehand, and anyone considering a place should come and see the home for themselves.
