Home care in Aintree, home of the Grand National
Aintree sits on the northern edge of Liverpool, in the borough of Sefton, and is known around the world for the racecourse that hosts the Grand National every April. Families searching for home care in Aintree are supporting parents in Aintree Village and around the racecourse, in Old Roan, Netherton and Waddicar, in Maghull, Melling and Lydiate to the north, and across the boundary in Fazakerley, Orrell Park and Walton Vale. Many older people here bought their semi or bungalow when they married and never wanted to leave it. A live-in carer means they do not have to.
We also arrange care in Liverpool, Formby, Southport, Ormskirk and Skelmersdale.
Aintree University Hospital, on the doorstep
Aintree University Hospital, run by Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is the major emergency and trauma centre for the north of the city, and many Aintree residents live within a mile or two of it. A live-in carer in Aintree arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically ready, rather than waiting on a ward for a package of visits to be found.
Sefton Council, and Liverpool across the road
Aintree Village, Netherton, Maghull and Melling are in Sefton, so adult social care comes from Sefton Council, which carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, may contribute to care. Fazakerley, Orrell Park and Walton are in the City of Liverpool, which has its own adult social care team, and the boundary runs close to the racecourse, so check the address first. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately.
Race day, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and Rimrose Valley
The Grand National meeting, walks along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal through Netherton and Maghull, Rimrose Valley Country Park and a trip to the coast at Crosby or Formby are favourite outings. Many older people here worked at the docks, at the Hartley's jam works, in the factories along the East Lancashire Road or on the railways. A carer can keep up church, the club and family visits. 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.

- Interviewed face to face, never hired on paperwork alone
- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Sefton 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.
Can you arrange live-in care near Aintree?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Aintree and the towns and villages around it, including Liverpool, Formby, Southport and Ormskirk. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
