About Moss Cottage Nursing Home

Moss Cottage Nursing Home is in Ashton Under Lyne, Tameside. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs require qualified nurses on hand throughout the day and night. Many of our residents are living with dementia, often alongside physical illness or reduced mobility. Caring for both at once is skilled work. It means noticing when someone is in pain but cannot say so, adapting how we communicate as things change, and keeping the surroundings calm and familiar so that confusion is not made worse than it needs to be. We plan care with residents and families rather than presenting them with something already finished. Food, sleep, company, privacy and the shape of the day all matter, and small preferences are worth recording and honouring. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams so that treatment happens promptly and, wherever possible, without anyone having to move. Respite stays are available for families needing a break or for people who need nursing support for a short period after illness or hospital treatment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Choosing a nursing home is rarely easy and it is often decided at short notice. Please ring us or call in. We will show you round, answer questions plainly and help you work out whether Moss Cottage is right.
