Live-in carers in Slough, 24 hours a day
Live-in care means a trained Care Professional moves into your relative's Slough home and gives 24-hour support from there, one person to one person. Your relative keeps their own front door, their own bed and their own way of doing things.
There is no Protocol office in Slough. We arrange care in the town from Highview House in Edgware (HA8 7JU), our London base. Every Care Professional we send to Langley or Cippenham has passed enhanced DBS, right-to-work and reference checks and finished training, and a consultant is on hand around the clock.
What live-in care in Slough includes
Evenings and nights are where extra help at home counts most. A carer who lives in is in the house overnight, so a fall at 2am or a muddled wake-up is met by someone who knows your relative. That steady presence is often what keeps a move to a nursing home off the table for longer.

If you are new to the idea, live-in care explained walks through a typical week.
Breaks, sleep and help at night
A live-in carer is still one person. They need a few hours off each day and a proper night's sleep to stay well and alert. If your relative tends to wake and need help after dark, say so at the assessment and we will talk through night support with you.
Staying at home in Slough
A live-in carer needs a bedroom of their own, so we ask about the layout of the house early. In a terraced house that might be a box room upstairs; in a larger semi it may be a spare double. We also look at stairs, the bathroom and where a hoist or rail could go.
Couples can stay together under one arrangement where their needs allow it, and we assess each partner on their own terms. We set out the trade-offs against a residential move in live-in care or a care home?
Getting help from Slough Borough Council
Slough Borough Council has run all local services as a unitary authority since 1998, and that includes adult social care. You can ask its adult social care team for a free care needs assessment for your relative. The council may then look at money through a separate financial assessment.
The family member who has been doing the caring can ask for a carer's assessment of their own. The council's Slough Carers Support team will talk to carers in confidence and point them to local groups and services.
Coming home from Wexham Park
Wexham Park Hospital, in Wexham (SL2 4HL), is run by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. If the ward is planning a discharge, ask the team to include us in the conversation early, so the carer knows about medication and mobility from the first evening. Where needs are mainly health needs, ask whether your relative should be screened for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Slough's neighbourhoods
Slough grew by absorbing its neighbours. Langley and Cippenham came into the town in 1930, and named districts today include Brands Hill, Britwell, Huntercombe, Manor Park, Salt Hill, Upton Lea and Windsor Meadows. Britwell has been the focus of a regeneration scheme.
For relatives visiting from London, the Elizabeth line has served Slough station since 2022, and the branch to Windsor & Eton Central starts there too. Herschel Park, restored in 2009, is a quiet place for a short walk when mobility allows.
Funding and the cost of live-in care in Slough
We price each arrangement after an assessment, and nurse-led support changes the figure; paying for care covers funding and what live-in care costs explains pricing.
Care providers in the town can also use our REC-affiliated staffing service for NMC-registered nurses and support workers; see staffing services.

Not as a rule. The carer sleeps in the home and is close by, but they need rest to do the job well. If your relative is up often after dark, tell us at the assessment and we will discuss night support.
Often, yes. One live-in Care Professional can support two partners where their needs fit together, so they stay in the SL1, SL2 or SL3 home they share. We assess both people before agreeing anything.
