Meet The Manager
Colette Gardin is Home Manager at Acacia Lodge Care Home.
Situated adjacent to the A663 Broadway road and firmly established within the heart of the New Moston community, Acacia Lodge Care Home is five miles from Manchester city centre. Residents settle in quickly, with great support from families, who are very much a part of life at our retirement home. We have an open-door policy to friends and relatives, who can rest assured that their loved ones are in safe hands.
The Acacia Lodge team strive to do their utmost to ensure the lives of their residents are celebrated in every way possible, to the best possible standard.
Why not get a taste of the home, offering some of the best respite care in Manchester – you or your loved one could get an understanding of what living at our Manchester care home could be like.
We work extremely closely with relatives of residents who are living with dementia. Our Memory Care Suite uses their life stories as a basis for our care and we are proud to have a specialist Music Therapy programme that is hugely popular with residents and families alike.
Our bedrooms are spacious, with plenty of room for personal mementoes, photos and keepsakes. Walk-in showers and flat-screen TVs come as standard, and our housekeeping staff keep everything gleaming. The Buttercup Café and enclosed rear garden are favourite spots for a bit of togetherness, though there are plenty of other spaces throughout the home where residents can socialise with others, or relax quietly. Couples and companions are warmly welcomed in our home where their well-being, comfort, and happiness are our top priority.

The Buttercup Café and enclosed rear garden are favourite spots for a bit of togetherness, though there are plenty of other spaces as well where residents can be as involved with others or as quiet as they would like to be. The choice is theirs. We work closely with relatives in respect of residents who are living with dementia. Our Memory Care Suite uses their life stories as a basis for our care and we are proud to have a specialist Music Therapy programme which is hugely popular with residents and family. |

| Activities Are So Important |

Our residential 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. This 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. Local community organisations, faith groups and schools are regular visitors to Acacia Lodge and our Activity Coordinators make sure there is always something interesting going on. We have plenty of trips out in the wider Manchester and Oldham communities and often enjoy a lunch in a pub or café. Family and friends can keep in touch with what is going on in the home through our Facebook pages, which are always kept up to date. We also make use of Skype to connect with loved ones who cannot visit so often. Technology is an important facilitator for us. |
