Live-in care in the Vale of Evesham and the north Cotswolds
This is some of England's loveliest countryside, and some of the hardest places to arrange visiting care. Families searching for home care in Evesham or the Cotswolds are often supporting parents in Evesham, Pershore and Broadway, or in villages such as Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water and the smaller places in between, where carers may spend more time driving than caring. A live-in carer lives in the home, so there is no travel time and someone is always there, day and night.
We also arrange care in Worcester, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury.
Evesham Community Hospital and the county hospitals
Evesham Community Hospital provides local services, while emergency and most inpatient care for the Vale is at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester. For Evesham and Cotswolds families on the Gloucestershire side of the hills, hospital care is usually at Cheltenham General or Gloucestershire Royal. Wherever your relative is treated, a live-in carer in the Cotswolds can be ready for the day they come home.
Which council covers your village
The area crosses county lines. Evesham, Pershore and Broadway are in Worcestershire, so adult social care there is run by Worcestershire County Council; villages such as Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh are in Gloucestershire, where Gloucestershire County Council is responsible. Both carry out free needs assessments and may contribute to care depending on savings. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
Village life in the Vale and the hills
For older people in a small village, the church, the pub, the shop and neighbours of many years are what make it home. Live-in care keeps your relative there, with a carer who helps them stay involved, and lets couples stay together.
A car can matter a great deal out here, because bus services between the villages are limited. Where it suits your family, we can match a carer who drives and is happy to use your relative's car for appointments, shopping in Evesham or a trip to see friends.

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.

Often, yes. Your local council's adult social care team 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 Evesham and Cotswolds?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Evesham and Cotswolds and the towns and villages around it, including Stratford upon Avon, Worcester, Redditch and Droitwich Spa. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
