Home care from Mansfield Woodhouse to Rainworth
Mansfield is a former mining and textile town on the edge of Sherwood Forest, and many older residents come from pit families. Families searching for home care in Mansfield are supporting parents in the town centre, Ladybrook, Bull Farm and Oak Tree, in Mansfield Woodhouse and Pleasley, in Forest Town, Clipstone and Rainworth, and in Market Warsop and Church Warsop. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the community they have belonged to all their life.
We also arrange care in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Worksop and Newark.
From King's Mill Hospital to home
Emergency and inpatient care is at King's Mill Hospital, on the edge of the town, run by Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with Mansfield Community Hospital providing rehabilitation beds. Families often search for hospital-to-home care when a parent is ready to leave but cannot manage alone. A live-in carer in Mansfield can be in place for the day of discharge, collecting medication and helping your relative through the first weeks.
Nottinghamshire County Council in Mansfield
Mansfield District Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Nottinghamshire County Council. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. Villages just over the county border to the west, such as Pleasley and Shirebrook, fall under Derbyshire County Council.
Sherwood Forest and the market place
Sherwood Pines, the Major Oak at Sherwood Forest and Berry Hill Park are all close by for a gentle day out, and Mansfield's market place is still the centre of town. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, the miners' welfare, a bingo hall or a social club. If your relative is living with dementia or recovering from a stroke, 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. Your local council's adult social care team 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 Mansfield and the towns and villages around it, including Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Chesterfield and Worksop. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
