Home care in Warwick's old town and suburbs
Warwick is the county town of Warwickshire, built around its medieval castle above the River Avon, with timber-framed streets and Georgian houses rebuilt after the great fire of 1694. Families searching for home care in Warwick are supporting parents in the old town and around the Market Square, in Emscote and Coten End towards Leamington, in Woodloes Park and Packmores, in Myton and Heathcote, in Chase Meadow and Warwick Gates, and in villages such as Barford, Hampton Magna, Sherbourne and Budbrooke. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they know.
We also arrange care in Leamington Spa, Stratford upon Avon, Coventry, Solihull, Rugby and Warwickshire.
Warwick Hospital, on the doorstep
Emergency and inpatient care is at Warwick Hospital on Lakin Road, run by South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, with specialist treatment at University Hospital Coventry. A live-in carer in Warwick arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically fit, to someone ready to help with medication, meals and getting about.
Warwickshire County Council, based in the town
Warwick District Council runs local services, but adult social care is provided by Warwickshire County Council, whose Shire Hall is in the town centre. Ask it for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related, and Attendance Allowance is worth claiming whatever your relative's income.
The castle, St Nicholas Park and the Lord Leycester
St Nicholas Park by the river, the Mill Garden below the castle and the racecourse are favourite outings, and the Lord Leycester Hospital has housed retired servicemen for more than four centuries. The old town's pavements are narrow and uneven in places, so a steady arm helps. A carer can help your relative keep getting to St Mary's, the Saturday market or family nearby. 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.
