Looking after someone you love isn’t always easy
Whether you’re caring for a parent, partner, or friend, it can be hard to find time for yourself — even just to get the shopping done or enjoy a quiet moment. That’s where we come in.
At Riseley House, we offer warm, friendly Day Care for people aged 55 and over, giving families a bit of breathing space while their loved one enjoys company, homecooked food, and gentle support from a team that genuinely cares.
What’s included
Our Day Care service runs Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm — and includes everything you’d expect from a proper day out.
-
£100 per day (or £15/hour if needed)
-
All meals, snacks, and drinks throughout the day
-
Daily activities, games, and occasional outings
-
Support with personal care, bathing and hairdressing if needed
-
Quiet time and one-to-one support
-
A free taster session for new families
You don’t need to commit to anything long-term — just book a day or two and see how it goes.
Who Day Care is for
We welcome anyone over 55 who could use a bit more support, structure or company during the day. Some of our guests are living with dementia or health issues. Others just enjoy the social side, especially if they’re on their own at home.
This service is also here to help family carers. Whether you need to work, catch up on errands, or just take a well-earned break — we’ll make sure your loved one is safe, comfortable and looked after.
What a typical day looks like
No two days are the same at Riseley, but here’s a general idea of how things flow:
Morning
-
Arrive and settle in with a cup of tea and breakfast
-
Group activities: arts & crafts, gardening, music, or games
-
Mid-morning snack and conversation
Lunchtime
-
Two-course meal with friends around the table
-
Quiet time or optional one-to-one support
Afternoon
-
Entertainment or a gentle outing (weather permitting)
-
Afternoon tea with homemade cake
-
Help with bathing, hair, or freshening up before heading home
We always work around the needs and preferences of the people we’re caring for — and there’s no pressure to join in with everything.

Why families choose us
Riseley House has been part of the Macclesfield community for some years. People know us for our warmth, our homecooked food, and our down-to-earth approach to care. Families tell us they feel reassured knowing their loved one is enjoying their day — and not just passing the time.
Sometimes a day here becomes a regular thing. And sometimes, it naturally leads to more support down the line. Either way, we’re here for as long as you need us.
Day Care in Macclesfield Faqs
We’re happy to be flexible. Most people join us for the full 9am–5pm day (£100), but if a shorter visit suits you better, we offer hourly sessions at £15/hour. Just let us know what works best and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Not at all. You don’t need a GP referral or diagnosis to use our Day Care service. If your loved one would benefit from a safe, sociable day out with gentle support — even just now and then — we’d be happy to welcome them.
Helpful advice
Choosing the right care home can feel overwhelming. To support you, we’ve created a hub of helpful guides to provide answers and guidance, making your decision easier and more informed.
Ask us anything, or pop in to meet me and the team over a brew and a biscuit.
