Live-in care in Nuneaton

Call Warwickshire County Council's adult social care team on 01926 359190 (Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm, Friday 9am to 4.30pm), or use the council's online form (linked from its assessment page under Useful contacts on this page) if your relative has no support from adult social care yet.

A family carer can ask for a carer's assessment through Caring Together Warwickshire on freephone 0800 197 5544.

George Eliot Hospital on College Street has an Emergency Department open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, reached from the Heath End Road entrance. A GP-led Urgent Treatment Centre in the same department is open 8am to 8pm every day, including bank holidays. For problems that are not life-threatening, the hospital suggests NHS 111 online first. In an emergency, call 999.

Adults living in Warwickshire who leave hospital with new or increased needs may be offered the Community Recovery Service, part of the NHS-funded Discharge to Assess scheme. It is free for up to six weeks: care workers visit up to four times a day to help with moving around the home, washing, dressing and meals, alongside therapy. Most people finish within four to five weeks. If ongoing care is needed after that, there may be a charge, depending on a financial assessment.

Medicar, run by the charity Volunteer Friends, uses volunteer drivers for medical journeys by people who cannot use public transport because of ill-health, caring responsibilities, old age or disability. Book on 024 7664 0088 at least two working days ahead. Journeys cost 55p a mile plus a £4 administration charge per journey, paid to the driver. Passengers need to get in and out of an ordinary car with little help, or bring someone with them.

Live-in care with Day and Nightcare costs from £1,550 a week in Nuneaton, the same as everywhere in England, for one person with a carer who rests at night. That includes our care team's management (the assessment, care plan, reviews, supervision and the on-call manager) and the carer's food; break cover and the carer's travel are extra. For a couple it is from £1,800 a week, where one carer can safely meet both partners' needs. You receive a written quote after a free assessment.

Yes, if the person's care needs meet the national eligibility criteria and their savings are below £23,250 (2026/27). Adult social care in Nuneaton is arranged by Warwickshire County Council. Ask for a care needs assessment; if you are eligible, council funding can usually be taken as a direct payment and used for live-in care from us.

It can. Tell us the expected discharge date as early as you can, and we will work with you and the ward's discharge team on when live-in care can start. We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of the assessment, depending on carer availability, and we confirm the start date once a carer is arranged. We have provided Discharge to Assess (D2A) care since 2014.
