About BlueCross Life Care

We are BlueCross Life Care, a home care agency supporting adults across Oldham and the wider Manchester area. We provide care in people's own homes. We support older people and people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities or autism, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, and younger adults who need help with daily life. Depending on the person that might mean personal care, support with medication, meals, housework and shopping, or getting out to an appointment or a group. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you that plainly than have you come across it later. We have looked closely at what the inspection found, changed how we plan visits, record care and supervise our staff, and we are open with the people we support about how that work is going. If you are considering us, please ask about it directly. Beyond that, what we ask to be judged on is reliability. Arriving when we said we would. Staying the full agreed time. Sending workers who are familiar rather than a different person each visit. Noticing when somebody is not themselves and telling someone who can act on it. Please ring us if you would like to talk about care at home.
