How did you choose the best home carers in Manchester?

By what their clients said first, then by their record. We start from every carer who offers visits and is based within about 45 minutes of Manchester, and keep those with a studio portrait and a profile that says enough about them to be useful. They are ordered by their client rating and how many reviews they have, then by whether a client wrote a review we can quote, then by their record with PrimeCarers, their years of experience and the care they have given through us. All 6 carers profiled here have client reviews, averaging 5.0 out of 5.

Are the carers on this page checked?

Yes. Before a carer appears on PrimeCarers they have passed an enhanced DBS check, an identity check and a right-to-work check, and recorded an online interview. That DBS must have been issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years. Their skills, qualifications and training are for you to check with them. How we check carers sets out each step.

Can we meet a carer before booking?

Yes, and it is worth doing. Message the carers you like through PrimeCarers with the visits you need and anything that has been difficult, then arrange a video call or a visit. Talking to a carer is free and nothing is booked until you say so. Most families speak to two or three carers before choosing.

How much do the best home carers in Manchester charge?

The carers profiled on this page charge £17.50 to £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Manchester carers charge £19 to £20 an hour, typically £19. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Manchester works through what a week of visits comes to.

Are there carers in Manchester with dementia experience?

All 12 carers on this page list dementia on their profile. A tick on a profile is the carer's own description, so ask each one about the people with dementia they have cared for and what they found hardest. Dementia care at home covers what good support looks like at each stage.

Do any of the carers in Manchester speak a language other than English?

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Czech, Hindi, Igbo, Polish, Shona, Telugu, Urdu and Yoruba as well as English, and the search can filter by language. For someone whose first language has come back to them with age or dementia, a carer who shares it can make visits much easier.

What if the first carer is not right?

Then you choose another, and the same search shows who else is available. For visits, notice under the contract is 48 hours, and PrimeCarers makes no charge to stop or change carer. It helps to agree at the start that the first couple of weeks are a trial for both of you. Our team can help you find someone else in the meantime.

Can one of these carers stay overnight or live in?

Some can, and their profile says so. Of the carers profiled here, 1 also offer overnight care and 1 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Manchester is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.

Amy-Jayne F.

Client rating: 5.0from 2 reviews
Hourly rate: £25 an hour, our fee included

In Amy-Jayne’s words

“Hi, my name is Amy-Jayne and I've been a home carer for 10 years. I'm a friendly and caring person who enjoys helping people to live independently. I can drive and have my own car, which makes me ideally suited for home care. I have experience with a range of care needs, including dementia, learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders.”

I needed help in Asda, I found Any to be kind caring with heart of gold. I had assistance with eating and drinking and shopping. Nothing was too much trouble for Amy. To sum up Amy is a absolute credit to family friends clients and most of all her self. Amy is a 1 in a million carer and looking forward to future visits that I have booked on here.

Veronika B.

Client rating: 5.0from 2 reviews
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 132 hours of care

In Veronika’s words

“There is something grounding about cooking a proper meal with someone rather than just for them, and it is one of the small rituals I bring into my visits. I have been providing hourly and visiting care around Manchester for six years, working with people living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke and a wide range of physical and cognitive conditions, and I speak both Czech and English, which has meant a lot to some of the families I have supported.”

I needed help with shopping in tesco. I needed the wheelchair and trolley with built in seat. So glad I had Veronica to help me. I found Veronica to be kind caring heart of gold. Veronica is a credit to the caring industry and a lovely person and will look forward to many more visits.

Alice M.

Client rating: 5.0from 3 reviews
Hourly rate: £19.20 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 2,543 hours of care

In Alice’s words

“Once, on my break, I saw an elderly woman struggling with her shopping outside Tesco. I carried it home for her, and we ended up sitting together over a cup of tea, chatting like old friends. That is the kind of moment that has stayed with me through 24 years of live-in care in Tameside. I looked after one couple for five years, right until they died, and their family asked me to read Bible verses at their funerals as a way of saying thank you.”

Hannah A.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £18.50 an hour, our fee included

In Hannah’s words

“I like to keep things steady and unhurried during a visit, whether that means taking time over a meal, chatting through a board game, or simply making sure someone feels comfortable and heard. Families tend to notice that calm approach, and it's the way I try to work every time I go into someone's home.”
