Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Slough

Slough • Berkshire

Trusted care and staffing across Slough

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Slough and the wider Berkshire area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at 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.

Our base is in the South of England rather than in Slough itself, so we want to be straight with you about how we work. There is no local branch on the high street here. What we do have is a national staffing reach and a settled way of arranging home care that we apply in Slough exactly as we do everywhere else, with 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 Slough

Slough is one of the largest towns in Berkshire, a busy and diverse place just west of the M25 and home to the well known Slough Trading Estate. Its neighbourhoods each have their own character, from Cippenham and Chalvey in the west to Langley and Colnbrook in the east, along with Upton near the town centre, Wexham to the north and residential pockets such as Britwell and Manor Park. Care needs vary just as much across these communities, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service across the SL1, SL2 and SL3 postcodes.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Wexham Park Hospital, the main hospital serving the town, which is run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation 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. Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and we work to those standards on every package we arrange.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Slough Borough Council, the unitary authority for the area. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the 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, or browse all of our services.
