Home care in Wiltshire's county town
Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, an old cloth town once busy with woollen mills, and later home to famous sausage and brewing firms. Families searching for home care in Trowbridge are supporting parents in the town centre and around Fore Street, in Hilperton and Hilperton Marsh, in Studley Green and the estates to the south, in Paxcroft Mead to the east, and in villages such as Southwick, Staverton, North Bradley, Wingfield and Trowle. Westbury and Bradford on Avon are close by. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they know.
We also arrange care in Melksham, Bath, Frome, Devizes, Chippenham and Wiltshire.
The RUH in Bath and Trowbridge Community Hospital
Emergency and inpatient care for Trowbridge is usually at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, with some residents in the south treated at Salisbury, while Trowbridge Community Hospital provides a minor injuries unit and clinics. A live-in carer in Trowbridge arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to support, rather than waiting for a package of visits.
Wiltshire Council, based in the town
Adult social care in Trowbridge is provided by Wiltshire Council, a unitary authority whose County Hall is in the town. It carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, may contribute to care. Villages just to the west, such as Rode and Beckington, are in Somerset, so check your relative's address.
The Town Park, the canal and the museum
The Town Park, the towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal at Hilperton and Staverton, and the Trowbridge Museum in an old woollen mill are favourite outings. Many older people here worked in the mills, at Bowyers' sausage factory, at Ushers brewery or in the county offices. A carer can help your relative keep getting to church, the club or family nearby. 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.
