Marple Dale Care Centre

Mark Shockledge and his team welcome you to the historic site of Marple Dale Care Centre, where you can always be assured of a warm welcome.

Across the Marple Dale site, we provide first class nursing care for people who require general nursing; we also provide specialist care for younger people with physical disability and those with acquired brain injury and learning disability.

Our team of highly qualified and attentive staff really focus on the individual needs of our residents, ensuring the delivery of a person-centred care; and the dedication can be seen across the board in all departments on the Marple Dale site.

Situated in 34 acres of magnificent Cheshire countryside, we think that you'll find that we can meet your needs now and in the future. Why not arrange a visit and see for yourself?
