Home care in Daventry and the canal villages
Daventry is an old market town that grew rapidly in the 1960s and 70s when families moved out from Birmingham and London, with canal villages all around it. Families searching for home care in Daventry are supporting parents in the town centre, Southbrook and Grange, in Ashby Fields, Middlemore and Monksmoor, and in villages such as Welton, Braunston, Long Buckby, Badby, Weedon Bec and Staverton. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they know, with help at any hour.
We also arrange care in Northampton, Rugby, Banbury, Coventry, Leamington Spa and Wellingborough.
Northampton General and Danetre Hospital
Danetre Hospital in Daventry provides outpatient clinics and community services, but emergencies go to Northampton General, with some residents in the west treated in Coventry or Banbury. Community nursing and therapy continue at home after discharge, but they are short visits. A live-in carer in Daventry arranged before discharge makes the journey home from Northampton much easier.
West Northamptonshire Council in Daventry
Since 2021, adult social care in Daventry has been run by West Northamptonshire Council, a unitary authority that replaced the district and county councils. It carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute to care depending on savings. Rugby, just north-west, is in Warwickshire. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
Borough Hill, the canals and the country park
Borough Hill, with its views over the county, Daventry Country Park and reservoir, and the canal junction at Braunston are lovely outings, and the market on the High Street is still busy. A carer who drives can keep up church, clubs and friends in the villages. If your relative is living with dementia, 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.

Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Daventry and the towns and villages around it, including Northampton, Market Harborough, Hinckley and Wellingborough. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
