Home care from the Old Town to Sewerby
Bridlington is a seaside town on the East Riding coast, with a working harbour, two long beaches and a medieval Old Town around the Priory Church a mile inland. Families searching for home care in Bridlington are supporting parents in the Old Town and around Quay Road, in the streets behind the North and South Marine Drives, in Hilderthorpe and Bessingby, in Sewerby and Marton, and in villages such as Flamborough, Bempton and Carnaby. Many older people retired here, far from their families. A carer who lives in means someone is always there.
We also arrange care in Scarborough, Beverley, Malton, Hull, Pickering and East Yorkshire.
Scarborough Hospital, or Hull
Bridlington Hospital, run by York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, provides outpatient clinics, day surgery and rehabilitation, while emergencies usually go to Scarborough Hospital or Hull Royal Infirmary. A live-in carer in Bridlington arranged before discharge means your relative comes home to someone ready to help, rather than to an empty house after a long ambulance ride.
The East Riding runs care in Bridlington
Adult social care in Bridlington is provided by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, a unitary authority, not North Yorkshire. It carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, 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 harbour, the Spa and Flamborough Head
For many older people in Bridlington, a good day means a walk on the promenade, a show at the Spa, fish and chips by the harbour or a drive out to Sewerby Hall, Flamborough Head or the seabird cliffs at Bempton. Many families here have fished or worked in the holiday trade for generations. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, bowls or the market. 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.
