With its strong sense of community and rich heritage, many older Mancunians want to remain in their homes rather than move to a care home.

Care Assessments and Funding in Manchester
A free care needs assessment in Manchester is carried out by Manchester City Council. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
In England the council means-tests care. If savings and investments are above £23,250 you are likely to pay for care yourself, but the value of your home is not counted when care is provided at home.
We can arrange live-in care privately straight away, alongside or instead of council support. Our funding guide explains the options, including NHS Continuing Healthcare and Attendance Allowance.

"My wife recently suffered a stroke and after being in hospital for almost 2 months she has finally returned home. Without the help of Live-in Care Direct this would not have been possible. From my first contact, they were amazing and incredibly supportive."
"We had a wonderful carer called Elva care for my nan. She showed such kindness and compassion. The care provided was exceptional. Having a live-in carer meant our nan could remain living in her own home safely. I would definitely recommend Live-in Care Direct."
"Within 24 hours of making contact the wonderful carer moved into my parents' home. My father has advanced dementia. Within two hours of Elva arriving my mum began to relax. She has brought kindness, warmth, love and calm into the house."
