Home care in Farnborough and Cove
Farnborough grew around the Royal Aircraft Establishment, and many older residents spent their working lives as engineers, scientists or technicians in aviation. Families searching for home care in Farnborough are supporting parents in the town centre and Farnborough Park, in Cove, West Heath and Southwood, in the Grange and Empress areas, and in Hawley and North Camp towards Aldershot. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they have known for decades.
We also arrange care in Aldershot, Fleet, Camberley, Farnham, Yateley and Guildford.
Frimley Park Hospital, just over the border
Emergency and inpatient care for Farnborough is at Frimley Park Hospital, run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, just across the county boundary in Surrey. The Aldershot Centre for Health provides some outpatient clinics. A live-in carer in Farnborough arranged before discharge means your relative can come home promptly, with support from the first evening.
Hampshire County Council in Farnborough
Rushmoor Borough Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Hampshire County Council, even though the hospital is in Surrey. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. Frimley and Camberley, a mile or two east, are in Surrey. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
The airshow, the abbey and the canal
The Farnborough Airshow and the FAST aviation museum mean a great deal to older residents who worked on the airfield. St Michael's Abbey, where the Emperor Napoleon III is buried, the Basingstoke Canal towpath and Queen Elizabeth Park give quieter outings. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, the shops or a club. Couples can stay together with one carer supporting both. 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.
