Situation

Broughton House is situated in the Lower Broughton area of east Salford close to the administrative boundary with Manchester. Our architect designed home was purpose built in 1989 and boasts thirty seven (42) single rooms. 32 of them having en-suite facilities. The home has a drive in forecourt which leads to a secure car park for some 15 - 20 cars. To the rear of the property is an attractive well maintained, mainly lawned garden with a terrace across the rear of the property.

Facilities

The first impression a visitor has when entering Broughton House is one of comfort and friendliness. The home has a five person lift, grab rails and wide corridors with no awkward steps. Everything has been taken care of to make life easy and trouble free as possible. All 42 bedrooms are furnished to a high standard with 31 of them having en-suite facilities. All rooms have a nurse call system installed. Residents are encouraged to bring in personal possessions to achieve as homely an environment as possible. All rooms have TV aerial facilities and televisions can be supplied at an extra charge. Residents may have telephones installed at their own expense. There is 1 large lounge, dining room and a large newly refurbished conservatory, most with views of the garden. The locally praised and vibrantly colourful garden is an oasis to be enjoyed in the summer by both residents and visitors alike. In addition a dedicated shower / wet room.

Dining Arrangements

Dining is regarded as the focal points in the day. Meals are prepared using fresh ingredients with a diverse menu range produced by Appetito. Residents have two delicious main course options such as Rich Beef Stew with Dauphinoise Potatoes and vegetables. They also have the option of two delicious desserts such as Summer fruits Crumble and Stick Toffee Pudding. Special diets are catered for where necessary and personal preferences taken into account. Residents are able to dine in their rooms or in the communal dining areas in the Home.  Hot drinks are served throughout the day and evening with biscuits and cakes but beverages and snacks are available at all times. Meals are a very sociable occasion and residents are encouraged to leave their rooms but may be served with meals there if they wish. Relatives and friends are welcome to join residents for meals by prior arrangement but can visit for coffee or tea at any time. During the summer refreshments are served in the garden and can be a pleasant interlude for all concerned.
