Home care from Amington to Wilnecote
Tamworth is an ancient Saxon town that grew rapidly in the 1960s and 70s when families moved out from Birmingham, and many of those first residents are now in their eighties. Families searching for home care in Tamworth are supporting parents in the town centre and Belgrave, in Amington, Stonydelph and Glascote, in Wilnecote, Dosthill and Kettlebrook, in Fazeley, and over the county line in Polesworth and Kingsbury. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they made.
We also arrange care in Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Nuneaton, Burton upon Trent, Birmingham and Rugeley.
Good Hope, Queen's Burton and the Sir Robert Peel
Tamworth has no emergency department of its own. Residents are usually treated at Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield or Queen's Hospital in Burton, while the Sir Robert Peel Community Hospital in the town provides rehabilitation beds and a minor injuries unit. A live-in carer in Tamworth can be ready for discharge from either hospital.
Staffordshire, or Warwickshire for Polesworth
Tamworth Borough Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Staffordshire County Council. Polesworth, Kingsbury and Dordon, just to the east, are in Warwickshire. Each county carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute to care depending on savings, so check your relative's address first.
The castle gardens and the river
Tamworth Castle and its pleasure grounds, the Castle Grounds riverside and Kettlebrook Park give lovely outings, and the canal towpath at Fazeley is flat and quiet. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, the club, the shops at Ventura Park or to see family in Birmingham. Couples can stay together with one carer supporting both, and if your relative is living with dementia, tell us when we match. 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.
