Home care in Fleet and Church Crookham
Fleet is a leafy Hampshire town that grew up around its railway station in Victorian times, with tree-lined roads, large gardens and quiet estates set among heathland and woods. Families searching for home care in Fleet are supporting parents around Fleet Road and the town centre, in the older roads towards the station, in Elvetham Heath and Ancells Farm, in Church Crookham and Zebon Copse to the south, and in villages such as Crookham Village, Crondall, Dogmersfield, Odiham and Hartley Wintney. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they love.
We also arrange care in Farnborough, Farnham, Aldershot, Camberley, Yateley and Basingstoke.
Frimley Park and Fleet Community Hospital
Emergency and inpatient care for Fleet is usually at Frimley Park Hospital, run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, with some residents in the west treated at Basingstoke, while Fleet Community Hospital provides outpatient clinics and community services. A live-in carer in Fleet arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to support, rather than waiting for a package of visits.
Hampshire County Council and Hart District
Hart District Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Hampshire County Council. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. Many Fleet families pay privately, but an assessment is still worth having. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
Fleet Pond, the canal and the Gurkha community
Fleet Pond, the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire, the towpath of the Basingstoke Canal and Calthorpe Park are easy, level outings close to home. Many older people here served in the army at Aldershot or Church Crookham, and the town has a large Nepali community with strong Gurkha links. A carer who speaks Nepali or respects your relative's faith can make a real difference. 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 Hampshire 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.
Do you cover areas near Fleet?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Fleet and the towns and villages around it, including Farnham, Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
