Care at home for families across Borehamwood

Protocol Healthcare Services provides trusted home care in Borehamwood for older people, adults with disabilities and anyone who needs a little more support to stay safe and independent at home. Our Edgware office is only a short drive south of Borehamwood along the A5135 and A411, so our local Care Professionals know the town well and can reach families quickly, from the Shenley Road high street and Cowley Hill through to Hillside, Elstree and Well End.

Whether you are looking for a short daily visit to help a parent get up and dressed, or full-time live-in support after a hospital stay, we build the care around the person, not the other way round. Every Care Professional we place is vetted with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training before they support you, and the same familiar faces return wherever possible so trust can grow.

Local knowledge that makes a difference in Borehamwood

Borehamwood grew up around the film and television studios on Shenley Road, and the town still has a strong community feel, with many long standing residents who want to stay in the homes and neighbourhoods they know. Around Elstree Studios and the Thameslink station the streets are busy, while quieter residential roads run through Cowley Hill, Deacons Hill, Kenilworth and Brookmeadow. Many of the people we support want to keep up familiar routines, whether that is a morning coffee along Shenley Road, a walk in Meadow Park, or a service at a local church or synagogue. Our care is designed to keep those routines going, not replace them.

We regularly support people coming home after a stay at Barnet Hospital, run by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, which is the nearest acute hospital with an accident and emergency department, just a couple of miles across the border in Barnet. Getting the first few weeks at home right matters, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support, and we keep in close contact with families and district nurses to spot any problems early.

Adult social care in the town is the responsibility of Hertfordshire County Council, working alongside Hertsmere Borough Council, whose civic offices are in Borehamwood itself. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask Hertfordshire County Council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many of the families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different funding routes work so you can make a confident decision. You can read more on our paying for care guide.

Borehamwood sits right on the edge of our wider Greater London catchment, and the same team that supports families across North West London looks after clients here too. That means you get local carers who know the WD6 area, backed by an experienced office team based just down the road at our London (Edgware) office.
