Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Loughborough

Loughborough • Leicestershire

Trusted care and staffing across Loughborough

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Loughborough and the wider Charnwood borough. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent in their own home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

We are honest about where we are based. Our offices sit in the South of England, in Edgware and Bournemouth, so we do not run a branch on Loughborough's Market Place. What we do have is a genuinely national healthcare staffing operation and a care coordination team that arranges support for families right across Leicestershire, with the same enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Loughborough

Loughborough is the largest town in Charnwood and one of the biggest market towns in the East Midlands, home to a well known university and the Great Central heritage railway. Its neighbourhoods each have their own character, from the newer estates at Shelthorpe and Grange Park in the south, to Thorpe Acre and Hathern towards the west, and Nanpantan on the edge of Charnwood Forest. Care needs differ from street to street, so we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. Most of the town sits within the LE11 postcode, with surrounding villages such as Quorn and Barrow upon Soar falling under LE12.

Families often ask us to help once someone is ready to leave hospital. We support people returning home after a stay at Loughborough Hospital on Hospital Way, run by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, or after acute treatment at Leicester Royal Infirmary under University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. A short walk from the town centre, the Carillon Tower in Queen's Park is a reminder of just how proud and settled a community Loughborough is, and how much people here value staying in the place they know.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Leicestershire County Council, the upper-tier authority for the area, while Charnwood Borough Council handles more local services. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the county council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
