Live-in care from the Wolds to Holderness
East Yorkshire, the East Riding, is a big rural county of chalk Wolds, the flat farmland of Holderness and a long, eroding coast, wrapped around the city of Hull. Families searching for home care in East Yorkshire are supporting parents in Beverley and Cottingham, in Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea on the coast, in Driffield, Pocklington and Market Weighton on the Wolds, in Hessle, Brough and Hedon by the Humber, and in Goole and Howden in the west. In the villages and farms, visiting care can be very hard to arrange. A live-in carer lives with your relative instead.
We have local pages for towns across the county, including Beverley, Bridlington, Goole, Hessle, Brough and Hull.
Hull, Scarborough and the community hospitals
Most of the East Riding looks to Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, while the north uses Scarborough or York, and the west Goole or Scunthorpe. Community hospitals in towns such as Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley and Withernsea provide rehabilitation closer to home. A live-in carer in East Yorkshire can be ready for discharge from any of them.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council, and Hull
Across the county, adult social care is provided by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, a unitary authority based in Beverley. The city of Hull is a separate council with its own services, so check which covers your relative's address. The East Riding carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, may contribute to care.
Farms, the coast and Beverley Minster
Many older people in East Yorkshire have farmed the Wolds or Holderness, fished from Bridlington or worked in Hull's docks and factories, and a care home can mean moving far from the village they know. Beverley Minster, the seabird cliffs at Bempton and the drive out to Spurn are favourite outings. Couples can stay together with one carer supporting both. 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.
