Home care in the black-and-white town
Nantwich is an old salt town on the River Weaver in south Cheshire, rebuilt in timber after a great fire in 1583, with some of the finest black-and-white buildings in England. Families searching for home care in Nantwich are supporting parents in the town centre around Welsh Row and the square, in Stapeley and the newer estates to the south, in Wistaston and Willaston towards Crewe, and in villages such as Shavington, Wybunbury, Audlem, Wrenbury and Acton. Out among the dairy farms, visiting care can be hard to secure. A carer who lives in brings support to the door.
We also arrange care in Crewe, Winsford, Northwich, Congleton, Cheshire and Chester.
These days Nantwich is also known well beyond Cheshire for its International Cheese Show.
Leighton Hospital, next door
Emergency and inpatient care for Nantwich is at Leighton Hospital, between Nantwich and Crewe, run by Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is building a new hospital on the site, with some specialist treatment at the Royal Stoke. A live-in carer in Nantwich arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically fit, to someone ready to help.
Cheshire East Council in Nantwich
Adult social care in Nantwich is provided by Cheshire East Council, a unitary authority. It carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, 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.
The brine pool, the canal and Holly Holy Day
The outdoor brine pool, the riverside walk by the Weaver, the aqueduct on the Shropshire Union Canal and the food festival and show are favourite outings, and every January Holly Holy Day re-enacts the Civil War battle in the streets. Many older people here farmed, worked on the railway at Crewe or in the town's shops. A carer can help your relative keep getting to church, the market or family. 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.
