Live-in care in north and south Warwickshire
Warwickshire is really two counties. The north, around Nuneaton, Bedworth and Atherstone, has former mining towns and close-knit estates, while the south, around Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth and Stratford, runs into the villages of the Cotswold edge and the Feldon. Rugby sits in between. Families searching for home care in Warwickshire are supporting parents in all of them. In the rural south, visiting care can be hard to arrange. A live-in carer brings the same support everywhere.
We have local pages for towns across the county, including Warwick, Leamington Spa, Stratford upon Avon, Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth.
Warwick, George Eliot and University Hospital Coventry
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust runs Warwick Hospital and Stratford Hospital. The George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton serves the north of the county, and University Hospital Coventry, with the Hospital of St Cross in Rugby, takes major trauma, stroke and much specialist care. A live-in carer in Warwickshire can be ready for your relative's discharge from any of them.
Warwickshire County Council, not Coventry or Solihull
Across the county, adult social care is run by Warwickshire County Council rather than by the five district and borough councils. Coventry and Solihull, although close, are separate councils with their own services. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care.
Staying close to home and family
Many Warwickshire families have children working in Birmingham, Coventry or London, close enough to visit but not to provide care every day. A live-in carer fills that gap, so family time can be family time. Couples can stay together with one carer supporting both, and a carer who drives can keep up market days, church and appointments. 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. 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.
