Home care from the Broadway to Norwood Green
Southall is a busy town in west London, home to one of the largest Punjabi communities outside South Asia, with streets of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces on either side of the Broadway. Families searching for home care in Southall are supporting parents around the Broadway and the High Street, in Old Southall and Southall Green, in Norwood Green to the south, in Dormers Wells and the roads towards Greenford, and on the Havelock estate by the canal. Many older people live with family who work long hours. A carer who lives in means someone is always there.
We also arrange care in Ealing, Acton, Uxbridge, Ruislip, Harrow and Twickenham.
Ealing Hospital, on the Uxbridge Road
Ealing Hospital, run by London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust, is on the Uxbridge Road in Southall and provides emergency and inpatient care, with some residents treated at Hillingdon, West Middlesex or Northwick Park. A live-in carer in Southall arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically fit, to someone ready to help.
Ealing Council, or Hillingdon
Southall is in the London Borough of Ealing, whose council provides adult social care, carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and may contribute to care depending on savings. Hayes, just to the west, is in Hillingdon, which has its own services, so check which council covers your relative's address. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately.
The gurdwara, the Broadway and the canal
For many older Southall residents, a good day means a visit to the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha on Havelock Road, shopping on the Broadway, the temple or mosque, or a walk in Southall Park or along the Grand Union Canal. A carer who speaks Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu or Somali, and who understands your relative's faith, food and routines, can make a real difference; tell us what matters 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.

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 Southall and the towns and villages around it, including Ealing, Acton, Ruislip and Kew. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
