Proud of Our Manchester Care Home

Acacia Lodge Care Home has earned a reputation across Manchester for its vibrancy, and our often energetic, musical approach to resident well-being, especially in the field of dementia therapy, something which was recently picked up by The Guardian. Manchester Camerata Orchestra’s Music in Mind (MIM) projects, which included working at Acacia Lodge, was a great success and had some dramatic results in awakening communication and now has a follow-on programme in the home.

Good Food, Great Company at Our Care Home in Manchester

The consensus from our residents is that the food at our Manchester Care Home is fantastic. Dining is an integral part of life at Acacia Lodge, and our chef and his team take pride in cooking up delicious meals at quality restaurant standards. Food is always nutritionally balanced, fresh, locally sourced where possible, and mindful of the seasons. There’s a variety of choices on every menu and dietary problems are never a problem. We realise that palates can change and appetites wane as we get older, and sometimes medication can affect the food with may like to eat. However, our understanding chefs always listen to what the residents say they enjoy eating, and will provide alternatives if someone fancies a special something.

Unsurprisingly, there are never complaints about our cakes and pastries which are freshly baked every day and prove a very popular accompaniment to morning coffee or afternoon tea. We don’t extend to our own sommelier, however, we do our best to ensure there is a good choice of wines or other aperitifs for the evening meal, after all, dining is a social occasion. If there is ever a party going on, you’re more than welcome to join us – the more the merrier!
