About Tamar

Tamar is a home care agency based in Manchester, supporting people in their own homes across Bury and the surrounding area. We visit older people who need a hand with washing, dressing, medication and meals, and we also support younger adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions including eating disorders, and people with physical disabilities or with sight and hearing loss. Care at home works best when it is predictable. We try hard to send the same small group of carers to the same households, at times that suit the person rather than the rota, because familiarity is what makes personal care feel dignified instead of intrusive. Care plans are written with the person, and reviewed when something changes rather than only when a date comes round. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to gloss over that. We have looked carefully at what the inspection found, made changes to how we plan visits, supervise our carers and record what we do, and we would rather talk openly with anyone considering us about what has changed and what we are still working on. If you are arranging support in Manchester or Bury, for yourself or for a relative, we are happy to visit, listen to what is needed and give you a straight answer about whether we are the right fit.
