About Us

Beloved Healthcare are Trafford’s only ‘Outstanding’ CQC provider of care. We are a family-run business who have been recognised by Best Companies as a ‘World Class’ employer, and we pride ourselves on looking after our staff. As providers of personal and domestic care services, we help our clients maintain the highest quality of life possible.

Take our client Julie. Julie was diagnosed with Dementia and wanted to remain at home where she felt the most comfortable. That’s where our team came in. They supported Julie by helping her live as independently as possible, by offering companionship in an otherwise lonely time, by monitoring her food and fluid intake to ensure she received the nutrients she needs and by communicating with family members, who commented on a noticeable difference in her.

Our mission is to remain the best care provider in Trafford in the eyes of the public, clients, healthcare professionals and our staff, and to help more clients like Julie.
