Home care from Kewstoke to Uphill
Weston-super-Mare is a Victorian resort that has grown into North Somerset's largest town. Families searching for home care in Weston-super-Mare are supporting parents in the seafront streets and the town centre, in Milton and Kewstoke under Worlebury Hill, in Uphill to the south, in Worle, Locking, Oldmixon and Bournville, and in villages such as Hutton, Banwell, Winscombe and Congresbury. Many older people retired here from Bristol and further afield. A carer who lives in means someone is always at home with them.
We also arrange care in Nailsea, Clevedon, Portishead, Bridgwater and Bristol.
Weston General, and Bristol at night
Weston General Hospital, run by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, provides inpatient and emergency care, but its emergency department does not take patients overnight, when ambulances go to Bristol. Many families find a parent discharged from the Bristol Royal Infirmary or Southmead instead. A live-in carer in Weston-super-Mare can be ready for their return, whichever hospital they were in.
North Somerset Council
Weston is covered by North Somerset Council, a unitary authority separate from Somerset Council to the south. It runs adult social care, carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute to care depending on savings. Brean and Burnham-on-Sea, just over the boundary, are in Somerset. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
The Grand Pier, the beach lawns and Brean Down
Weston's long, flat seafront, the Grand Pier, the beach lawns and the Marine Lake are ideal for a daily walk or wheelchair outing, and Weston Woods and Brean Down are close by. A carer can help your relative keep up those routines, along with church, bowls, a show at the Playhouse or lunch with friends. 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.
