Home Care
Support in your own home
Home care is designed to support you with day-to-day personal and domestic tasks so that you can live as independently as possible in your own home.
Home carers can help with eating and drinking, washing and bathing, dressing and undressing, going to bed and getting up, going to the toilet, and prompting you to take your medication. They can also help with domestic tasks, such as preparing meals, laundry, ironing and shopping.
You can also get help with social activities, such as going to the cinema, or have someone with you so that you can get out and about.
If you need significant regular help with personal care and practical tasks, Manchester City Council may be able to arrange for a home carer to visit you.
The information in these pages is available for you to download as a leaflet for printing.
