Home care in and around Windsor
Windsor is a busy tourist town, but most of the people who live here are far from the castle crowds. Families searching for home care in Windsor are supporting parents in Clewer, Dedworth and Trinity, in the streets around Spital and Frances Road, in Old Windsor and Datchet along the river, and across the bridge in Eton and Eton Wick. Some are in homes close to the Great Park, others in flats in the town centre. A carer living in means help is there day and night, whatever the address.
We also arrange care in Datchet, Maidenhead, Ascot, Slough, Egham and Staines.
Wexham Park and King Edward VII
Most emergency and inpatient care for Windsor is at Wexham Park Hospital near Slough, run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, with some residents treated at Frimley Park or St Peter's in Chertsey. King Edward VII Hospital in Windsor provides outpatient and community services. Arranging a live-in carer in Windsor in good time for discharge helps your relative get home without delay.
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
Windsor is part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, a unitary council that runs adult social care directly. It provides free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute to care depending on savings. Datchet and Eton are covered by the same council, while Egham and Englefield Green fall under Surrey County Council.
The river, the Long Walk and a familiar routine
For older residents, a good day might mean a stroll along the Thames at the Alexandra Gardens, a drive through the Great Park or coffee on Peascod Street. A carer can help your relative keep doing those things safely. Windsor also has many former service families and people who worked for the royal household, for whom discretion matters. You choose your carer from matched profiles and a video call 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.
