Greater Manchester
In Greater Manchester we offer support for adults in Bury, Manchester City, Middleton, Salford and Wigan and the surrounding areas.
The support we provide in this area includes a number of people who have moved to MacIntyre under the Transforming Care agenda. Our focus is to ensure that every individual is supported in a way that best suits them and meets their individual needs – Homes Not Hospitals.

Our model of specialist support is bespoke to the unique circumstances and needs of the person we are supporting. We are ambitious for each person and work closely with them, their families and professionals to ensure a happy and meaningful life in their own home.
Each person has their own tenancy and is supported to become an active member of their local community. Our skilled teams work in partnership with our own practice development teams and other professionals to ensure effective support for every person.
Families as Partners
Our philosophy is to work closely and transparently with families as recognised experts in the care and support of their loved ones. A person’s parents undoubtedly know them better than anyone else. They will have worked tirelessly to help the person live a good life on a day-to-day basis. We work closely with them to co-produce the service moving forward.
We are mindful that for the person and their family, transition may be an unsettling and worrying time. We have extensive experience working with families who have fought hard for many years to ensure their loved one has the support and services they deserve. We always deal with this with sensitively, and with the best interests of the person at the heart of everything.
Find out about the success of this approach in action in Sam’s Journey.
Sam spent most of his childhood living in the family home, living a rich and fulfilling life. However, his teenage years became a little bit more difficult which ended up meaning that Sam could no longer be supported at home by his family. This separation to the day has been really impactful on both Sam and his family.
One parent says:
Thank you all for the care, love and kindness you give my son each and every day... you have turned the house into a home for him and words can never express the magnitude of that or what that means to me.
