Home care from Padiham to Cliviger
Burnley was once the biggest producer of cotton cloth in the world, and its terraces, mills and canal still fill the valley below the moors. Families searching for home care in Burnley are supporting parents in the town centre and Burnley Wood, in Daneshouse and Stoneyholme, in Rosegrove and Lowerhouse, in Brunshaw and Pike Hill, in Harle Syke, Briercliffe and Worsthorne, in Cliviger towards Todmorden, and in Padiham and Hapton. Many live in terraced houses with steep stairs and back yards. A carer who lives in helps your relative stay safe and keep getting out.
We also arrange care in Nelson, Colne, Accrington, Clitheroe, Blackburn and Todmorden.
Royal Blackburn and Burnley General
Serious emergencies and most inpatient care for Burnley are at the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, while Burnley General Teaching Hospital provides an urgent care centre, planned surgery and maternity care; both are run by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust. A live-in carer in Burnley arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to support.
Lancashire County Council and Burnley Council
Burnley Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Lancashire County Council. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related, and Attendance Allowance is worth claiming whatever your relative's income.
Towneley, the Weavers' Triangle and Turf Moor
Towneley Hall and its park, the canal through the Weavers' Triangle and the Singing Ringing Tree on the hill are favourite outings, and Turf Moor is still a big part of life for many older fans. Burnley's older residents include families with roots in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and a carer who shares your relative's language, faith or cooking 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.

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Lancashire can carry out a free needs assessment and, depending on savings, may contribute to the cost.

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.
