Home care in Bromsgrove and the Lickey Hills
Bromsgrove sits just beyond the edge of Birmingham, and many of its older residents moved out from the city years ago for a garden and green fields. Families searching for home care in Bromsgrove are supporting parents in the town itself, in Sidemoor, Charford, Aston Fields and Catshill, in the villages of Barnt Green, Alvechurch, Hagley, Belbroughton and Wythall, and on the southern edge of Rubery. A live-in carer suits these homes well, bringing support without the gaps of a visiting rota.
We also arrange care in Redditch, Droitwich Spa, Kidderminster, Halesowen, Stourbridge and Worcester.
Worcestershire hospitals, or Birmingham
The Princess of Wales Community Hospital in Bromsgrove offers rehabilitation and outpatient clinics. Emergency care is usually at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch or Worcestershire Royal, both run by Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, while many residents in the north of the district are treated in Birmingham, at the Queen Elizabeth. A live-in carer in Bromsgrove can be arranged in time for your relative's discharge, whichever hospital they are in.
Worcestershire County Council
Bromsgrove District Council deals with local services, but adult social care is run by Worcestershire County Council. The county carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute to care depending on savings. If your relative is just over the boundary in Birmingham or Dudley, those councils handle it instead.
Close to family in the city
Many Bromsgrove families have children living in Birmingham or Solihull, close enough to visit but not to provide care every day. A live-in carer fills that gap. The carer can help your relative keep up the things that matter, from a walk on the Lickey Hills or around Sanders Park to the market, church and coffee with friends. If your relative lives in a village, we can match a carer who drives. You choose 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.
Our carers
The people who would be caring for your family
Our carers are spread across the UK, supported by regional care managers. Every one is interviewed in person, enhanced DBS checked and reference-checked before they are ever introduced to a family — and you choose who moves in.
- Interviewed face to face, never hired on paperwork alone
- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified
- You meet and approve your carer before they start

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Worcestershire 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.
Can you arrange live-in care near Bromsgrove?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Bromsgrove and the towns and villages around it, including Redditch, Droitwich Spa, Halesowen and Stourbridge. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
