Manchester Adult Placement Service (MAPS) arranges placements for people in the homes of paid carers (also known as Adult Placement providers) for people who are learning disabled, physically disabled, with mental health needs and older people. The service can provide long term placement as part of a family / household or respite care to provide a break. There is also a Sitting and Befriending service.

The service is also a holder of the Charter Mark award.  The most recent inspection was in October 2008 and an additional 'compliance plus' rating was given for standard 4.2.1 - largely a result of work with the 'our service our say' group who advise on service delivery.
