Carers Hive

Carers Hive is a home care agency based in Manchester, 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 and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since January 2021.

Carers Hive 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.

Carers Hive has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Manchester. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care. Ask for a written price list that shows the weekend and bank holiday rates and the shortest visit they will do.
