Home care in the riverside village opposite Windsor
Datchet is a village on the Thames, just across the river from Windsor Home Park, with a village green, old coaching inns and a railway station in the middle. Families searching for home care in Datchet are supporting parents around the green and the High Street, along the river and Southlea Road, in the roads out towards Datchet Common, and in nearby Horton, Wraysbury and Old Windsor. Many older residents have lived in the village for decades. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they love, with help at any hour.
We also arrange care in Windsor, Slough, Egham, Staines, Virginia Water and Maidenhead.
Hospital care for Datchet
Emergency and inpatient care for Datchet is usually at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, while King Edward VII Hospital in Windsor provides outpatient clinics and community services. Some residents in the south use St Peter's in Chertsey. A live-in carer in Datchet arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to support.
Windsor and Maidenhead, or Slough
Datchet is in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, whose council provides adult social care, carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and may contribute to care depending on savings. Colnbrook and Langley, just to the north, are in Slough, which has its own services, so check which council covers your relative's address.
The green, the Thames and Windsor Great Park
The village green, the riverside walk towards Windsor, a trip over the bridge to the castle and a drive into Windsor Great Park are favourite outings. The trains make it easy for family to visit from London. A carer can help your relative keep getting to church, the shops or friends. Couples can stay together with one carer supporting both. If you live away, we agree how the carer keeps you updated. 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.
