Manchester

Manchester is a home care agency based in Manchester, in the Bury 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 and people with mental health needs. It is part of Specialist Care Team, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since August 2023.

Manchester 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.

Manchester has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Bury. 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.

There are 43 registered home care agencies in Bury. Others working the same area include Care4Us Health Care, Yourlife (Prestwich) and 121 Specialist Carers Limited. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care from about £1,120 a week.
