About Willowmere House

Willowmere is a grade-II listed Georgian residence set in three acres of walled gardens just minutes from Didsbury village. Family-owned since 1988, the home has been sensitively refurbished throughout 2021 without losing any of its period character. High ceilings, bay windows, and original features sit alongside modern accessibility standards.

We specialise in residential, nursing and dementia care, with a 1:4 staff-to-resident ratio during the day. Our team includes two on-site Registered General Nurses 24 hours a day, a visiting GP twice weekly, and a dedicated activities co-ordinator. Meals are cooked fresh on-site by a head chef formerly of The Lowry Hotel.
