About Us

The Chanters Care Home is a residential home in the Wigan area. We support older people, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, as well as some younger adults, and we offer respite stays.

The home runs around the people in it. Residents decide when to get up, what they want to eat and how to spend the day, and we would rather somebody read the paper all morning than joined in with something to be polite. Rooms are personalised from the start with people's own furniture and pictures, because familiar surroundings make settling in much easier.

Supporting people who live with dementia alongside long standing mental ill health is a real part of our work, and it is an area where people sometimes get moved from place to place. We would rather be somewhere that holds steady. Routines stay consistent, staffing is kept as settled as the rota allows, and when a person is distressed we look for the cause instead of simply calming the moment.

Having younger adults living here too means we are careful that their days do not drift into a pattern designed around much older residents.

Respite stays suit family carers needing a break and people recovering after illness or hospital.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit The Chanters and ask us whatever you need to.
