We aim to make every day better for our residents by providing person-centred care that maximises independence, builds everyday living skills, and empowers people to live as fulfilled lives as possible.”

“We are proud to have an exceptional team of colleagues who share a deep passion for providing excellent care and fostering a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere. Our utmost priority is collaborating with local health and social care professionals, our valued residents, their families, and the broader community. By doing so, we want to ensure that the people we support have their complex needs met within the comfort of their community.”

Helen Lawson, commissioning manager at Exemplar Health Care, commented: “We have left no stone unturned in designing every aspect of Adswood Lodge to cater to the specific needs of residents, even calling on the help of our service user council, comprised of resident representatives from our other homes, who made sure the home would meet the needs of people who will now live here.

“This ethos runs throughout Exemplar Health Care’s approach to providing care, as we work in partnership with our residents to make sure every day is better and they can lead fulfilling lives.

“We are confident Adswood Lodge will make a positive difference to the lives of many people in the local area, supporting adults with complex care needs to remain close to their loved ones whilst receiving exceptional support from a range of health and care professionals.”

Councillor Graham Greenhalgh, mayor of Stockport, added: “I had the privilege of touring the new Adswood Lodge Nursing Home in Stockport, which is an impressive home operated by Exemplar Health Care. It offers a wide array of facilities from bespoke private rooms to communal lounges for the residents. I was particularly impressed with the health facilities such as spa baths, treatment rooms and a dedicated clinic. The staff were a wonderfully caring group who offer a full-service 24-hour support. This is a shining example of the care services now available in Stockport.”
