Home care in Redhill, Earlswood and Merstham
Redhill grew up around its railway junction in the nineteenth century, and today it is a busy town beneath the North Downs, joined to Reigate but with its own character. Families searching for home care in Redhill are supporting parents in the town centre and around Redhill Common, in Earlswood, Whitebushes and Meadvale, in South Park, in Merstham and South Merstham to the north, and in Nutfield and Bletchingley to the east. A carer who lives in means help is there day and night, whichever street your relative lives on.
We also arrange care in Reigate, Horley, Dorking, Epsom, Crawley and Leatherhead.
East Surrey Hospital, in the town
East Surrey Hospital, run by Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, sits on the southern edge of Redhill and takes most of the area's emergencies and admissions. Being close to the hospital does not make coming home alone any easier. A live-in carer in Redhill arranged before discharge means your relative has support from the first evening.
Reigate and Banstead, Surrey and the 2027 change
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council runs local services in Redhill, but adult social care is provided by Surrey County Council until 1 April 2027, when the new East Surrey Council takes over. Nutfield and Bletchingley are in Tandridge, which also moves to East Surrey. Ask for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; support agreed now should carry across.
Earlswood Lakes, the common and the Downs
Earlswood Lakes and Common, Redhill Common and Memorial Park give easy, level walks, and the North Downs at Merstham are close by. The station makes trips to London, Gatwick and family easy. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, the Harlequin theatre or a club. If your relative is living with dementia, tell us 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.

- Interviewed face to face, never hired on paperwork alone
- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Surrey 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 Redhill?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Redhill and the towns and villages around it, including Reigate, Horley, Epsom and Dorking. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.

Our care-home directory lists 16 registered care homes in Redhill, with 313 beds between them. Of those with a current Care Quality Commission rating, 3 rated Outstanding, 11 rated Good and 1 rated Requires improvement. If you are weighing up a care home, live-in care is the alternative that keeps your relative at home with one carer supporting only them, and we can explain how the two compare on cost.
