MannaCare's home care and community care services aim to assist older people to continue to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
Community services are offered both on site at MannaCare in Doncaster, and in people’s own homes.
Home care services range from helping with physical jobs that an older person can no longer do, to rehabilitation and activity groups, respite care, and connecting carers with other carers, plus professionals who can help them.
