About Us
Golden Care Group is a home care agency in Cheadle, supporting people in their own homes across Stockport and the surrounding area. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with people who have a learning disability, with autistic people, with people living with mental health needs or a physical disability, and with people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug misuse.
We should be straightforward about our rating. The most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around it. The inspection found things that were not good enough, we accept the findings rather than dispute them, and we are working through what was identified. Anyone considering us should ask directly what was raised and what has changed since, and expect a proper answer instead of reassurance.
The work itself is practical: personal care, medication managed and recorded properly, meals cooked, help about the house and support to move safely indoors. Where specialist teams are already involved, as they often are with recovery from substance use, we work to the plan rather than improvising, and we leave the moralising out of it.
Continuity is what makes home care useful, so we send the same carers to the same people wherever we can.
Call us and ask the hard questions before you decide anything. We would rather answer them now.

More about the care at Golden Care Group
What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.
Older Person Care
The most recent overall rating for this service is requires improvement, from an inspection in April 2022. A new registration took effect on 3 September 2026 under NS Care Group, so that judgement may belong to a previous provider and should not be credited to the current one. Older person care is on the registration, delivered in people's own homes across Stockport and the area around Cheadle. The practical work is described as personal care, medication managed and recorded properly, meals cooked, help about the house and support to move safely indoors. Ask how early and how late visits run and who covers when a carer cannot come. Ask directly what the inspection raised and what has changed, which the agency says it will answer properly.
Dementia
Nothing has been inspected under the registration granted on 3 September 2026, and the rating on file predates it. Dementia care is among the categories covered, and at home the things that help are familiar faces and an unhurried pace. Continuity of carers is therefore the first thing to establish in writing. Ask how many different carers a person would meet in a month and whether the same team is guaranteed. Ask how carers respond when someone is distressed or refuses help at the door. Ask how visits are reviewed as dementia advances and more support becomes necessary.
Learning Disability / Autism
Learning disability and autism are both named on this agency's registration. Support of this kind usually turns on how a person communicates, what settles them and what they are working towards. Councils commission most of it, with reviews at set points, so ask who attends and how often. Ask how routines and sensory needs are recorded.
Mental Health
Stockport would assess and may fund support of this kind at home. Mental health is on the agency's registration, and for an adult at home stability, a routine that holds and dignity usually matter most. The agency says that where specialist teams are already involved it works to the plan rather than improvising. Ask what training carers have and who is reachable in a crisis.
Physical Disability
Among the listed work is support to move safely indoors. Physical disability is on the registration, and because visits happen in someone's own house the equipment belongs to the household. Hoists, rails and bathing aids are matters for an occupational therapist as well as the agency. Ask how carers are trained in moving and handling and how risks are recorded and reviewed.
Alcohol / Drug Misuse
Alcohol and drug misuse is among the categories on this registration, which is uncommon in home care. It says that where specialist teams are already involved, it works to the plan rather than improvising. Recovery focused support at home depends on clear boundaries as much as practical help. Ask what experience the carers have with dependency and who holds the overall plan.
Younger Adults
A registration granted on 3 September 2026 carries no track record of its own. Younger adults are included, and someone under 65 usually needs support fitted around work, study or friendships. Most home care rounds are built around older clients, so flexibility is the thing to test. Ask how far visit times can move and how often a plan is reviewed.
