How this list is ordered

Homes in Bury are ordered by the MyCareCheck score, the average of the CQC's ratings for the five questions it asks at every inspection. Where two homes score the same, the better overall rating goes first.

Paying never changes a home's rating, score or place. Top places are only offered to homes rated Good or Outstanding and are always labelled.

How many sensory impairment care homes are there in Bury?

13 sensory impairment care homes in Bury are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Bury?

Bury council paid on average £820 a week for residential care and £991 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £2,089 and £1,693.
