Candour Care Group offers care services for people that wish to remain in the comfort of their own homes.

Whether looking for elderly care, dementia, mental health or learning disabilities, services are designed and delivered to promote the independence and quality of life of every person they care for.

They are a team of friendly care professionals who are committed to delivering high quality care services. They place an emphasis on honesty and trust with clients. They understand that being welcomed into your home is a privilege. They also recognise the importance of being there when they say they will, and they always aim to deliver care that you can rely on.

Care is person-centred, meaning that services are designed around your specific needs and requirements, as well as any preferences you or your loved ones might have. This is decided through an initial assessment, where a member of their team will visit your home to discuss your care requirements and work with you to determine what you want to achieve through the services (Don't worry, they are not sales people, they're social care professionals).

They understand that your needs may change over time so all plans are fully flexible, with you in control of your care services at all times.

Very happy with the care my Aunt is receiving. Big peace of mind knowing she is being well looked after. Have met several of the carers on my visits and they have all been lovely. She's in good hands with Candour Care.

Candour Care have been absolute life savers for me, and have meant that I'm able to continue living independently in my home, even with my ongoing health issues. Every staff member I've met has been helpful, considerate, supportive and professional, and they are always a bright part of my day, whatever
else has happened. I've been able to easily tailor my visits around my own hospital visits or whilst my mum was very ill, and they've always gone the extra mile in supporting me and being flexible when I've needed it. I know I can always speak to someone for advice or with any questions, and someone will find a solution to any problems that come up. I've had a complicated couple of years and I would not have got here without the exemplary support from Candour Care Group.

I can not speak highly enough of the care and attention that has been given to mum since an unsafe discharge from hospital following five weeks as an inpatient. The head office team at Candour Care Group pulled out all the stops in ramping up mums existing care package at very short notice, providing
an amazing service to enable me to maintain my job whilst mum received exemplary care. The individual carers have all been excellent they way they communicate with mum and anticipate her needs is amazing. Without their care, I dread to think what we would have been faced with. They have supported mum, and also myself, ensuring that I get the breaks I need whilst knowing mum is in safe hands.

Our individual carers genuinely care about the well-being of those they support, and its heartwarming to know that they've been able to anticipate your mum's needs and help you find some much-needed breaks.

I got in touch with this company to help my mum out after her fall in December. They came out to assess her, which they did very quick and good, which I was happy with. We chatted and came out with care times and what she needed, which they did very good, and I was happy and my mum was. The level of
care was very good and they took care of my mum which made the family happy. I would really recommend this company to any one who needs care and help and would definitely use them again if my mum or any of my family need it. I think they have really good workers who work for them and they are very helpful and caring and polite. One of my friends who works for the company, but cannot name her, but I would like to thank her for all the help and work she did for my mum. The review and ratings I gave the company, which was full ratings, so I would like to thank all the staff and my friend for the work and help so if any of my friends, me or help for family, I would really use this company again.

I have Candour Carers coming to support me three times a week, more if I require even at short notice.
I have always received high standard care from carers who are kind, friendly and patient. Candour Carers and management go out of their way to make me feel cared for in a professional way.
I would
highly recommend Candour Home Care and I am very grateful for their services and for their continued support.

Our loved one has been a client of the Candour Care Group family for 3 years and more. As our loved one's sister and main carer and family, we appreciate all the care and support delivered by Candour Care and their team of care workers. From each care worker, arriving on time, completing care plan tasks
very effectively and reading upon loved one's likes, dislikes, and preferences, promoting independence where possible and providing respect and dignity and championship to loved one on each visit.
Our family have always encountered very polite and professional mannerisms of each care worker when visiting our loved one and our home.
Each request to management or to business support officers or to senior care workers is dealt with, as a person-centred approach. With Candour Care providing care to our loved on, this allows for carer's relief and allows us to live as an integrated family. Which is our loved one's wishes and ours.
Thank you for all our loved one's continued support for our family life.

I contacted Candour Care to help my uncle, who lives in Newton-le-Willows. The set-up of the care package was so professional and efficient; there was a full assessment completed to design the plan. The carers do really care! They are trained, friendly, efficient and very accommodating. My uncle is
treated as a person. They are always contactable 24/7, and when they say they will get back to you, they do. I have no hesitations in recommending Candour Care, five-star.

Candour Care Group provide the highest standard of care possible. The carers actually care (unlike many other care companies) and want to enhance and make a difference to the lives of the clients in their care.
I speak from experience relating to two relatives, both with very different care needs
but both needs met with care and compassion.
No matter what new care need is thrown our/their way, the company go above and beyond to do what they can to meet this need from providing 24-hours emergency care with no notice, additional training for staff to provide enteral nutritional feeding or being involved in emergency care planning MDT meetings.
When my relative has been in hospital for a prolonged period, they genuinely worried for their client but still provided exceptional care and experience for her daughter with learning disabilities.
This company is the only one I have ever recommended to others. Thank you to the managers and the team responsible for my relatives' care.

Can’t thank Candour Care Group enough. Carers have been coming since December. I can honestly say I have been really happy with every single carer who has cared for my husband.
Not only am I confident when I leave my husband in their care (giving me time out, to recharge my batteries) I also know
he is happy whilst they are here. He loves chatting to new people and having different conversations.
Would highly recommend you use these lovely, reliable people and business.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.943 for Candour Care Group is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.943

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Candour Care Group is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
