Elderly and social care in Manchester

Across Manchester, Salford and Trafford you'll find residential and nursing care homes, home care (domiciliary) agencies, dementia care, supported living and day care. Because this is care for vulnerable people, the Care Quality Commission rating is essential context, and we show it — with a link to the full CQC report — on every listing where one is published.

Why the CQC rating is essential here

For care homes and home-care agencies in the Manchester area, CQC registration is a legal requirement. Read the linked CQC report, not just the headline rating, and where possible visit in person. A provider operating without any CQC registration is a serious warning sign.

Arranging and funding care

Your local council (Manchester, Salford or Trafford) can carry out a needs assessment and a financial assessment to determine any support you qualify for; some people fund their own care. Rules and thresholds change, so check GOV.UK or your council's adult social care team. The listings below cover care providers across the Manchester area. This is general information, not advice about an individual's care needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A residential care home provides accommodation and personal care (help with washing, dressing and meals). A nursing home also has registered nurses on site to provide nursing care for people with more complex health needs. Many providers offer both.
In England, the Care Quality Commission inspects and rates care homes and home-care agencies as Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. Each HealthWise listing shows the current rating where available and links to the full CQC report, which is worth reading in detail.
It depends on your needs and finances. Your local council can carry out a needs assessment and a financial assessment to determine any support you qualify for; some people fund their own care. Thresholds change, so check the latest guidance on GOV.UK or with your local authority.
Care homes must be registered with the CQC by law. A newly registered or recently re-inspected home may not yet have a published rating, which is not necessarily a concern — but a home operating without any CQC registration is a serious red flag.
