Home care on the edge of Charnwood Forest
Coalville is a former mining town in North West Leicestershire, grown in the nineteenth century around the Snibston and Whitwick collieries, with the rocky hills of Charnwood Forest just to the east. Families searching for home care in Coalville are supporting parents in the town centre and around Belvoir Road, in Whitwick and Thringstone, in Greenhill and Agar Nook, in Hugglescote and Ellistown, and in nearby Ibstock, Swannington, Ravenstone and Bardon. Many older people have lived in the same pit village all their lives. A carer who lives in lets them stay there.
We also arrange care in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Loughborough, Leicester, Leicestershire, Hinckley and Long Eaton.
Leicester's hospitals and Coalville Community Hospital
Emergency and specialist care for Coalville is at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield or Leicester General, run by University Hospitals of Leicester, while Coalville Community Hospital provides rehabilitation beds and clinics. A live-in carer in Coalville arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to support, rather than waiting for a package of visits.
Leicestershire County Council in Coalville
North West Leicestershire District Council, based in Coalville, runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Leicestershire County Council. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. Many ex-miners have industrial injuries benefits worth checking. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately.
Snibston, Charnwood and the Century Theatre
The country park on the old Snibston colliery, the woods and crags of Charnwood Forest, Grace Dieu and Bradgate Park nearby, and a show at the Century Theatre are favourite outings. Many older men here worked at the pits of the Leicestershire coalfield, the quarries at Bardon or the brickworks. If your relative has a lung condition from years underground, tell us when we match. You choose your carer from matched profiles before anything is agreed.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in England
Home care is regulated and funded differently in each nation, so the route is not the same everywhere. Here is how it works where you live.
Read our full funding guide →Who regulates care here
Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They inspect and register home care services to make sure standards are met.
Where funding comes from
Apply through your local authority's adult social care team. Means-tested local authority funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare are both available depending on assessed need.
How we fit in
Live-in Care Direct is an introductory agency. We introduce self-employed carers to families rather than employing them, so you contract directly with your carer and keep the choice of who provides your care.

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Leicestershire can carry out a free needs assessment and, depending on savings, may contribute to the cost. Where needs are mainly health-related, NHS Continuing Healthcare can pay in full. Attendance Allowance, paid to people over State Pension age who need help with personal care, is not means-tested and can be put towards care.

Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Coalville and the towns and villages around it, including Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Loughborough, Leicester and Long Eaton. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
