Frequently Asked Questions — Adult Day Care Manchester & Trafford

Yes, we offer wheelchair-accessible transport to and from our day service for individuals across Stretford, Manchester, Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester area. Transport is arranged around each person's individual needs and location. An additional fee applies depending on distance and mobility requirements. Please contact us to discuss availability and to arrange a route.

We support adults with a wide range of needs, including dementia, learning disabilities, brain injuries, physical disabilities and other additional support needs. Our service is person-centred, meaning every individual is supported around their own abilities, interests and goals. We welcome adults who benefit from social stimulation, structured routine, activities and community connection, as well as those whose families or carers need reliable daytime support.

Costs vary depending on the number of attendance days, the level of support required, transport needs and individual circumstances. Some individuals may be eligible for funding through their local authority or personal health budget. We are happy to discuss costs openly and help you understand the options available. Please contact our team and we will talk you through everything with no obligation.

Our activities are designed to promote wellbeing, confidence and social connection. They include arts and crafts, music sessions, gentle exercise and movement, themed days, quiz and memory games, gardening, cooking activities and regular community outings. Activities are adapted to each person's interests and abilities, so no two days are exactly the same. We aim to make every session enjoyable, meaningful and stimulating.

Yes, extra relief support may be available outside the main 10am–3pm day service hours, including early morning and evening sessions.

Simply get in touch by phone, email or through our contact form — there is no obligation at this stage.

We take time to understand each person individually before they join.
