Home care
Both of our Care Centres also have a team of home support workers who provide care in people’s own homes. Home care is normally provided on a regular basis, seven days a week, following a home visit and a detailed assessment of the client’s needs. This service is available during evenings and weekends as well as during the day. The home support team can also provide personal assistants for a special trip out.
If you would like someone to call around to help, whether for certain specific jobs, or just to give the normal carer a break to get out to the shops, please don't hesitate to call and see how easy it can be to arrange. If you'd like someone to send you an email explaining how this service can help you, please contact one of the offices listed below.
Home support can be arranged directly and is sometimes arranged through the Adult Social Care at Manchester City Council who can contribute towards the costs.
All of Age UK Manchester’s free services such as counselling, and information and advice, are also available to home support clients.
