About Fountains Care Centre
Set beside Victoria Park in Salford, Fountains Care Centre supports older people and adults with dementia, mental health needs, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. The home provides nursing care within a family-run care group and offers a range of facilities intended to make daily life feel more like a community than an institution.
Families can take part in relatives’ meetings and care planning, while electronic care plans help staff spend more time with residents. Activities are arranged within the home and local community, and residents are encouraged to continue hobbies, outings and relationships with family. Hairdressing is available on site, with chiropody arranged through the home or a resident’s own practitioner. Care beside Victoria Park is a distinctive setting detail for families considering the centre.
