King's Mill, on the edge of town
King's Mill Hospital, run by Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, sits between Sutton and Mansfield and takes most of the area's emergencies and admissions. Being close does not make the first days at home any easier. A live-in carer in Sutton-in-Ashfield arranged before discharge means your relative has support from the first evening.
Ashfield and Nottinghamshire County Council
Ashfield 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. Tibshelf and the villages just over the border to the west are in Derbyshire. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
The Teversal Trails and King's Mill Reservoir
The Teversal Trails along the old railway lines, King's Mill Reservoir and Brierley Forest Park give lovely, level walks, and Sutton's market and Idlewells shopping centre are close by. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to chapel, the welfare club or bingo. 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.
