Home care across Hull and its edges
Families searching for home care in Hull are supporting parents in the Avenues and Newland Park, in Sutton-on-Hull, Garden Village, Kingswood and Bransholme, along Hessle Road and Holderness Road, and just outside the city in Cottingham, Hessle, Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella. Hull is a close-knit city where many people have lived in the same area all their lives, often near brothers, sisters and old workmates. Live-in care means they can stay among them.
We also arrange care in Beverley, Bridlington, Goole, Driffield and across East Yorkshire.
Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill
Hospital care is provided by Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust at Hull Royal Infirmary in the city and Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, where many planned operations, cancer care and heart treatment take place. A live-in carer in Hull can support your relative home from either site, with help for the weeks when recovery is slow and confidence low.
Hull City Council or the East Riding
Inside the city boundary, adult social care is run by Hull City Council. Cottingham, Hessle, Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are in the East Riding of Yorkshire, where East Riding of Yorkshire Council is responsible. Both offer free needs assessments and carer's assessments, and may contribute depending on savings.
A city built on the sea
Hull's fishing and docks heritage runs deep, and many older people, especially around Hessle Road, grew up in fishing families or worked on the docks and in related trades. Those memories and connections matter. A carer who takes an interest in your relative's life story, and helps them get to the club, the church or a family gathering, makes home feel like home.
Many terraced homes in the city have steep stairs and a bathroom upstairs. An occupational therapist can advise on rails or other adaptations, and the carer can help your relative move about the house safely in the meantime.

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.
Do you cover areas near Hull?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Hull and the towns and villages around it, including Hessle, Beverley, Brough and Grimsby. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
