Questions families ask
Can pets visit the care home?
Yes. Pets can visit if they are kept on a lead and supervised. The home also offers animal-based activities such as pet therapy.
Can residents keep their existing GP?
Yes, if the GP is in the care home’s catchment area. Otherwise, the home can register the resident with a local surgery.
Can they accommodate special dietary requirements?
Yes. They cater for vegan, vegetarian, diabetic, soft and fully modified diets, with alternative meals available when needed.
Are residents’ belongings insured in the care home?
Not automatically. The home accepts responsibility only where it has not taken reasonable security measures, so residents should arrange contents insurance for valuable items.
How much does Trafford Waters Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Trafford Waters Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Trafford council paid on average £946 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.
