Dementia care at home in North West
Dementia care at home is support from care workers who understand how dementia can affect memory, mood, communication and daily life. It can be a few visits a day, overnight care, or a live-in carer, depending on what your parent needs.
Every agency we match is registered with the Care Quality Commission, covers the postcode where care is needed and has told us it can take on new clients. You tell us once, and the right agency calls you.
“Choose your council area below, or just tell me your postcode.”

Costs and funding
The cost depends on how much support is needed and whether it is visiting, overnight or live-in care. Our cost guide explains what affects the price, and the calculator helps you estimate it. Care may be paid for from savings, by the council after a needs and financial assessment, or by the NHS in some cases, such as NHS Continuing Healthcare where there are complex health needs.
Your council in North West can assess care needs for anyone who asks, and then look at finances to see whether it will help with the cost.
Both live-in care and care homes can give someone support day and night. This guide sets out what each involves and who each tends to suit, so you can decide together.

We match by postcode, not council area. The agency has to be registered with the CQC, cover the address where care is needed, offer the type of care you asked for and have told us it can take on new clients. Your details go to that one agency only.
It may. Contact the adult social care team at your council and ask for a needs assessment. If your parent is eligible, the council will then do a financial assessment to work out what it can contribute. Our funding checker gives a quick idea first.
It depends on the agency and how much care is needed. Tell us how soon care is needed and we pass that on, so the agency can tell you straight away when they could start.
Many people can, with the right support. The agency will assess what is needed to keep your parent safe, and this can change as their needs change.
Ask each agency what dementia training their carers have and whether they can match your parent with experienced carers.
Answer a few simple questions and we’ll match you with a CQC-registered agency that covers your area.
