Alcedo Care Trafford

Alcedo Care Trafford is a home care agency based in Manchester, in the Trafford council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Manchester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Alcedo Orange, which has 16 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2023.

Alcedo Care Trafford has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
