Home care in Burton and the villages
Burton is a brewing town with a strong local identity, and many of its older residents have lived in the same terraced street or semi for most of their lives. Families searching for home care in Burton upon Trent are supporting parents in Stapenhill and Winshill across the river, in Horninglow, Shobnall, Branston and Stretton, and in villages such as Tutbury, Rolleston on Dove, Barton-under-Needwood and Anslow. A carer who lives in brings help and company every day, without a rota of visitors.
We also arrange care in Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stafford and Rugeley.
Queen's Hospital Burton
Emergency and inpatient care for the town is at Queen's Hospital Burton, run by University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, with some specialist treatment at the Royal Derby. The same trust runs community hospitals in Lichfield and Tamworth, where some patients go for rehabilitation. A live-in carer in Burton upon Trent can be arranged in time for discharge, so your relative comes home to support.
Staffordshire County Council, or Derbyshire
East Staffordshire Borough Council handles local services, but adult social care in Burton is run by Staffordshire County Council. Swadlincote and the villages of South Derbyshire just across the river look to Derbyshire County Council instead. Both offer free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute to care depending on savings.
Brewers, the Washlands and the Trent
Many older people in Burton worked for the breweries, from Bass and Ind Coope to Marston's, or at the Marmite factory, and the smell of brewing still carries across town. The Washlands, the Andressey Bridge and the riverside paths by the Trent make pleasant, level walks. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to the market, church or a social club, and back home safely. 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.
