Home care between Leeds and Bradford
Pudsey is a stone-built former woollen town on the hill between Leeds and Bradford, with a strong sense of being a town in its own right. Families searching for home care in Pudsey are supporting parents in the town centre and around Church Lane, in Owlcoates and Waterloo, in Troydale and Fulneck on the slopes of the valley, in Stanningley and Bramley, and in Farsley and Calverley to the north. Many older people live in terraced houses on steep streets. A carer who lives in helps your relative stay safe and keep getting out.
We also arrange care in Leeds, Bradford, Shipley, Baildon, Otley and West Yorkshire.
The Leeds hospitals, or Bradford Royal
Emergency and specialist care for Pudsey is usually at St James's University Hospital or Leeds General Infirmary, run by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, with some residents on the western side treated at Bradford Royal Infirmary. A live-in carer in Pudsey arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically fit, to someone ready to help.
Leeds City Council, not Bradford
Although Pudsey sits close to Bradford, adult social care is provided by Leeds City Council. It carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and, depending on savings, may contribute to care. Tyersal and Thornbury, just over the boundary, are in Bradford, so check which council covers your relative's address. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately.
Pudsey Park, Fulneck and the cricket
Pudsey is famous for cricket, as the home town of Len Hutton and Herbert Sutcliffe, and for the Children in Need bear who shares its name. Pudsey Park, the Moravian settlement at Fulneck and the walks down to Tong are favourite outings. Many older people here worked in the mills or engineering works. A carer can help your relative keep getting to church, the cricket club 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.

Often, yes. The council's adult social care team for Leeds 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.

Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Pudsey and the towns and villages around it, including Bradford, Shipley, Leeds and Baildon. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
