About Fir Trees
Residential dementia care and flexible respite stays are central to Fir Trees, which supports adults across Tameside. The home also accepts convalescent stays, making it relevant for long-term residents and shorter periods of recovery or support.
There are 46 bedrooms, many with en-suite facilities, together with social lounges and dining areas. A landscaped central garden and on-site hair salon add to the setting, while personalised plans reflect routines and dietary requirements. Support is available around the clock, and flexible respite and convalescent stays give families an alternative to a permanent move.

Questions families ask
How much does Fir Trees cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fir Trees for its weekly fee. As a guide, Tameside council paid on average £790 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Fir Trees whether it takes residents funded by Tameside council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
