Home care in Newcastle-under-Lyme and its villages
Newcastle-under-Lyme is an old market town beside the Potteries, with mining villages to the west and the countryside around Keele and Madeley. Families searching for home care in Newcastle-under-Lyme are supporting parents in the town centre and Westlands, in Wolstanton, May Bank and Porthill, in Clayton and Seabridge, in Silverdale, Knutton and Chesterton, in Kidsgrove and Talke to the north, and in Audley and Madeley. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home and community they know.
We also arrange care in Stoke on Trent, Stone, Stafford, Crewe, Congleton and Leek.
The Royal Stoke University Hospital
Emergency and inpatient care is at the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Hartshill, just over the boundary, run by University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, which is also the major trauma centre for the region. Bradwell Hospital provides rehabilitation beds. A live-in carer in Newcastle-under-Lyme arranged before discharge helps your relative come home promptly.
Staffordshire County Council, not Stoke
Although it runs straight into the Potteries, Newcastle-under-Lyme is not part of Stoke-on-Trent. Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Staffordshire County Council, while Stoke-on-Trent City Council is a separate authority. Check your relative's address, then ask for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment.
The market, Apedale and the Queen's Gardens
Newcastle's street market, the Queen's Gardens, Apedale Country Park and the paths around Keele are favourite outings. Many older people here worked down the pits at Silverdale, in the potbanks or at the Michelin works. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, the club or the Vale, and keep family updated. 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.

- Interviewed face to face, never hired on paperwork alone
- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified
- You meet and approve your carer before they start
