Dementia care in the Wigan council area
There are 39 dementia care services in the Wigan council area registered with the Care Quality Commission. 20 carry a published CQC rating, and 19 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 19 are unrated, which usually means they have not been inspected since registering rather than that anything is wrong. Privately arranged care is quoted by the hour, and the Homecare Association puts the minimum a provider must charge in 2026-27 at £34.42, or about £481.88 a week for two half-hour visits a day. The council paid providers £19.00 an hour in 2023-24, the 22nd lowest of 150 councils in England and 10% below the £21.19 median. That is 39 of the 53 home care services across the Wigan local authority. Your council decides what care you are entitled to and what it pays towards, so this is the area that matters for funding.

Dementia care in Wigan: questions people ask
- How much does dementia care cost in the Wigan council area?
- Agencies in the Wigan council area quote by the hour after an assessment, so there is no single price. The Homecare Association calculates that a provider needs to charge at least £34.42 an hour in 2026-27 to pay careworkers the statutory minimum for all their working time and run a compliant business. Two half-hour visits a day at that rate is roughly £481.88 a week. Wigan paid £19.00 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
- Will the council pay for dementia care in the Wigan council area?
- Wigan can arrange and fund care after a needs assessment, which is free and which anyone can request. What you contribute depends on a separate financial assessment. It paid providers an average of £19.00 an hour in 2023-24, the 22nd lowest of 150 councils in England. The Homecare Association's minimum sustainable price is £34.42 for 2026-27. Those are different years, so treat the pair as context rather than a like-for-like gap. What a council pays shapes which agencies will take council-funded work at all.
- Which dementia care services in the Wigan council area are rated best?
- 20 of the 39 services in the Wigan council area carry a published CQC rating and 19 of those, 95%, are rated Good or Outstanding. That is above the 89% across England. 4 are rated Outstanding, the top grade, among them Care Choice North West Limited, Right at Home North Cheshire and Leigh and Wigan Reablement Service. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.
- Is the Wigan council area well served for dementia care?
- 39 of the 53 home care services in the Wigan council area are registered to support this, 74%, against 74% across England. That is about average. Registration is permission rather than specialisation, so it sets the size of the list rather than its quality.
- How do I choose a dementia care agency in the Wigan council area?
- Start with what the regulator publishes, then ask what it cannot tell you: who would actually visit, whether it is the same carer each time, what happens when that person is ill, and how long a call really lasts. 19 of the 39 services in the Wigan council area carry no published verdict at all, so for those the questions are the only evidence you have. Every service here comes from the public register, and contacting one costs nothing: we take no fee and no commission.
