If you're starting to think about finding a care home for yourself or a friend or family member, speak to our contact service first as we can look at all your needs in one go, and there might be other alternatives to help you stay in your own home.

There are also several other options for housing for older people, which can be suitable when you can't manage in your own home, but don't need the round-the-clock support offered by care or nursing homes. 

You can find out about care homes and the services they offer by searching on Help and Support Manchester. This includes their latest assessment by the Care Quality Commission, a national organisation charged with monitoring the quality of all care services
