Home care on the edge of the Cotswolds
Chipping Sodbury is a medieval market town with one of the widest high streets in England, set at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment and joined to the much larger town of Yate. Families searching for home care in Chipping Sodbury are supporting parents along the High Street and Broad Street, in the newer roads towards Yate, in Old Sodbury under the Cotswold edge, and in villages such as Iron Acton, Frampton Cotterell, Wickwar, Horton and Hawkesbury Upton. Out in the villages, visiting care can be hard to secure. A carer who lives in brings support to the door.
We also arrange care in Yate, Bradley Stoke, Kingswood, Bristol, Bath and Stroud.
Southmead Hospital and Cossham
Emergency and specialist care for Chipping Sodbury is usually at Southmead Hospital in north Bristol, run by North Bristol NHS Trust, while Cossham Hospital in Kingswood provides outpatient clinics and community services. Some residents in the east use the Royal United Hospital in Bath. A live-in carer in Chipping Sodbury arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to support.
South Gloucestershire Council
Adult social care in Chipping Sodbury is provided by South Gloucestershire Council, a unitary authority whose offices are in Yate. It carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, may contribute to care. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related, and Attendance Allowance is worth claiming whatever your relative's income.
The clock tower, the Common and the Cotswold Way
The High Street, with its clock tower, old inns and independent shops, is flat and easy to get around, and Sodbury Common and the lanes towards the Cotswold Way give lovely outings with a car. Many older people here have lived in the town or its villages all their lives and want to stay near chapel, church and family. A carer can help your relative keep getting out. 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.
