Elderly care in Bury
There are 39 elderly care services in Bury registered with the Care Quality Commission. 15 carry a published CQC rating, and 15 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 24 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 £20.49 an hour in 2023-24, the 54th lowest of 150 councils in England and 3% below the £21.19 median. That is 39 of the 44 home care services in Bury. Registration sets what a service is allowed to provide. It does not say how well it does it, so read the inspection report and ring two or three before you decide.

Elderly care in Bury: questions people ask
- How much does elderly care cost in Bury?
- None of the 39 services in Bury publish a price, so you get a figure by ringing them: most quote by the hour after an assessment. 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. Bury paid £20.49 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
- Will the council pay for elderly care in Bury?
- Bury 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 £20.49 an hour in 2023-24, the 54th 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 elderly care services in Bury are rated best?
- 15 of the 39 services in Bury carry a published CQC rating and 15 of those, 100%, are rated Good or Outstanding. None is rated Outstanding. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.
- Is Bury well served for elderly care?
- 39 of the 44 home care services in Bury are registered to support this, 89%, against 89% 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 elderly care agency in Bury?
- 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. 24 of the 39 services in Bury 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.
