Dementia Day Care
Our day care is designed to give caregivers and families regular or intermittent daily respite, while their loved ones enjoy a quality environment and genuine caring by qualified and well-trained staff. Our attendees usually have some form of memory impairment and/or a diagnosis of a type of dementia, or older people who experience mental illness such as depression or anxiety. However, if you live on your own and would like to join us for a day of companionship, activities and a nutritious three-course lunch in a homely atmosphere, then please do not hesitate getting in touch with us.
Subject to your enquiry, a senior member of Staff would arrange to meet you and the person needing day care and go through an assessment to confirm that the services are appropriate and suitable for their needs. This would be either at your home or at Gorsey Clough. If you wanted to proceed with our day care service, we would ask you to complete a personal history questionnaire. This enables us to adapt our care around the attendee.

Information about Gorsey Clough
Gorsey Clough is one of the region's most respected EMI Care Homes providing CQC 3 star 'excellent rated' specialist residential nursing care to its Residents. Established for 25 years on the Bolton border and Bury area of Greater Manchester, we are very proud of the reputation of Gorsey Clough and the quality of care provided by our Management and Staff.
Gorsey Clough is approximately 1 mile from the village of Tottington and ½ a mile from the historic hamlet of Affetside and close to the town of Bury, Greater Manchester.
Situated in Green Belt, the Home has a wonderful outlook, enjoying unspoilt views of the surrounding countryside and is approached by a long drive leading down to the original 19th century house. Over the past 20 years, we have extended the Home to accommodate 61 beds.
The lawns and the sunken garden are beautifully maintained and there is a large patio area at the back where Residents and their guests can sit out and enjoy the views.
The views of the surrounding countryside are very attractive and the whole setting is entirely rural yet very near to the amenities of Tottington and a little further on to the town of Bury itself.
The proximity of motorways means that even Bolton and Manchester can be described as being only a short distance away.
