If you have concerns about Acacia Homecare Stockport & Manchester, you can give feedback on this service.
Acacia Homecare (Stockport) is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care in people’s own homes. At the time of the inspection the service was providing care and support to 35 people. The service covers Manchester, Stockport and surrounding areas.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
