About The Dell
Older people and people living with dementia can remain active at The Dell, where care is shaped around familiar routines, relationships and participation. Family and friends are encouraged to be involved in the home’s care approach, and daily activities are organised by lifestyle teams.
Accommodation consists of spacious single rooms at ground level, all with en-suite facilities, around an enclosed courtyard with raised flower beds and a summer house. Special diets, including diabetic and low-fat diets, are catered for. Residents can continue seeing their usual doctor where the home falls within the relevant catchment area.

Questions families ask
Can they cater for special diets?
Yes. They provide special diets for residents with needs such as diabetes or low-fat nutrition, respect food preferences and aim to offer a suitable choice, including religious requirements where possible.
Can residents keep seeing their own doctor?
Yes, if the care home is within the doctor’s catchment area. Otherwise, they can support registration with a local surgery, dentist and nominated in-house optical provider.
Would they have to leave if their health deteriorates?
Rarely. They only require a move when long-term specialist nursing care is needed. Hospital care can be arranged, and district nursing support is available after a resident returns.
Do they provide hairdressing and chiropody?
Yes. A hairdresser visits every fortnight and provides cutting, blow-dry, sets and perms for women and men. Chiropody can be organised, or residents may continue with their own chiropodist.
How much does The Dell cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Dell for its weekly fee. As a guide, Manchester council paid on average £728 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.
