About elderly care

Care for older people covers help with washing, dressing, meals, medication and getting about, plus company and keeping an eye on health. It is the most common registration with CQC, so most providers list it; the differences are in staffing, continuity and how well care is planned around the person.

What to ask about elderly care

  1. Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?
  2. What activities and company do you offer, not just personal care?
  3. How do you manage medication, and who checks it?
  4. How is the care plan written and how often is it reviewed with the family?
  5. What happens at weekends, at night and in an emergency?

What does home care cost in Marple?

Typical prices across England in 2026: visiting care around £32–£34 an hour; live-in care around £1,540–£1,610 a week.

See our full cost guide.

Does Stockport council fund home care?

Two sources of help: Attendance Allowance, which ignores savings and is for people over State Pension age, and the council. By law (Care Act 2014) Stockport council must assess care needs at no charge for people who look as if they need support; if savings and investments are under £23,250, it may pay a share once your finances are assessed, depending on income. With care at home, the house itself is not included. How to reach Stockport council.

Read the most recent CQC report and check its date. Here, 8 of 111 were inspected or rated within the last two years, and 59 have an older report. Before signing, ask about staff continuity, how they handle missed visits and the full price. See the checklist.
