About Apollo Home Healthcare -North West
At Apollo Home Healthcare North West, we provide home care support to people living in Heywood, Rochdale and the surrounding areas. Our work centres on helping people live well in their own homes, with the comfort, familiarity and independence that matters so much to so many of the people we support. We work with a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and those living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairments, eating disorders, and alcohol or drug misuse. We do not believe in a one size fits all approach. The people we support have different lives, different needs and different goals, and we try to reflect that in the care we provide. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which we see as a reflection of the consistency and thoughtfulness our team brings to their work day in and day out. That rating matters to us, not as a badge, but as confirmation that the people we support and their families can place their trust in us. What we hear most from the people we work with is that they want to feel listened to and treated with respect in their own homes. We take that seriously. Our team takes time to get to know each person properly, understanding what they value, what they find difficult, and what a good day looks like for them. That knowledge shapes everything we do. If you are looking for home care support for yourself or someone you care about, we would welcome the chance to have a conversation. There is no pressure and no obligation. We are here to help you work out whether we are the right fit for your situation.

More about the care at Apollo Home Healthcare -North West
Dementia Care at Apollo Home Healthcare -North West
The familiar is protective in dementia and the unfamiliar is not, which makes continuity of carer a clinical matter rather than a courtesy. Dementia care is one of the registrations held by Apollo Home Healthcare North West. Home provides the familiarity, but the kitchen, the stairs and the front door usually need reassessing as the condition progresses. Ask what carers do when someone is agitated, frightened or refusing help, and how such incidents are written up and passed on. It is fair to ask what dementia training staff receive and who oversees their practice. Decide in advance how the package would grow if supervision became necessary for most of the day.

North West rates commonly fall between £25 and £30 an hour, which keeps moderate packages affordable against residential fees. The service holds a good rating from an inspection in July 2026.
