Home care from Bilton to Hillmorton
Rugby is a market town best known for the school where the game of rugby began, but most of its older residents worked in its engineering and cement works or on the railway. Families searching for home care in Rugby are supporting parents in the town centre and New Bilton, in Bilton and Overslade, in Hillmorton and the new Houlton, in Brownsover and Newbold, in Cawston and Long Lawford, and in villages such as Dunchurch, Clifton upon Dunsmore and Wolston. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they know.
We also arrange care in Coventry, Leamington Spa, Daventry, Nuneaton, Northampton and Warwickshire.
The Hospital of St Cross and University Hospital Coventry
The Hospital of St Cross in Rugby provides an urgent treatment centre, planned surgery and rehabilitation, while emergencies go to University Hospital Coventry, both run by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. A live-in carer in Rugby arranged before discharge makes the journey home from Coventry much easier.
Rugby Borough and Warwickshire County Council
Rugby Borough Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Warwickshire County Council. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. Villages just east, such as Crick and Kilsby, are in West Northamptonshire. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
Caldecott Park, the canal and the rugby
Caldecott Park, the Great Central Walk and the Oxford Canal towpath give easy outings, and the Webb Ellis rugby museum is a favourite for older fans. Many older men and women here worked at the British Thomson-Houston works, later GEC and Alstom, or at the cement works. A carer can help your relative keep up church, the market and 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.

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Warwickshire can carry out a free needs assessment and, depending on savings, may contribute to the cost.

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.

Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Rugby and the towns and villages around it, including Coventry, Bedworth, Leamington Spa and Nuneaton. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
