Chrysalis Holidays

Chrysalis Holidays is a home care agency based in Manchester, in the Wigan 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, 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 run by Epiphany Trading. The agency has been registered since March 2014.

At its latest inspection, published January 2019, the CQC rated Chrysalis Holidays Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
