We run Stevenage placements from our London office at Highview House, Edgware. Carers we place in Bedwell, Chells or the Old Town have all cleared enhanced DBS, right-to-work and reference checks and training before day one. A consultant is on hand around the clock if anything changes.

When the carer rests
Living in is not the same as being awake all day and night. The carer takes a daily break and sleeps at night, so they can keep going week after week. If your relative needs help most nights, let us know when we assess and we will talk through night support.
Living in Britain's first New Town
Stevenage was designated the UK's first New Town in 1946 and was planned as six self-contained neighbourhoods. Bedwell was occupied first, in 1952, then Broadwater and Shephall, with Chells in the 1960s and later Pin Green and Symonds Green.
The planners also set out to keep cyclists apart from cars, so separate cycle paths can offer a quieter route for a gentle walk. A couple can often keep one carer between them, provided our assessment of each partner supports it. Read live-in care or a care home? for the comparison.
Hertfordshire County Council and carers
Adult social care in Stevenage is run by Hertfordshire County Council. You can ask its adult social services for a free care needs assessment. If you are not sure where to begin, HertsHelp gives independent advice on 0300 123 4044.
A family member who provides care can request a carer's assessment through the county. Carers in Hertfordshire offers free support to carers living or caring in the county, including courses and groups.
Leaving the Lister
Lister Hospital on Coreys Mill Lane (SG1 4AB) is Stevenage's district general hospital, run by East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust. Before discharge, the county's hospital social care team can talk to you about help at home. Tell them you are arranging live-in care, and ask about NHS Continuing Healthcare if needs are mainly health-related.
The Old Town and the town centre
The Old Town predates the 1946 plan, and Jack's Hill lies just to its north. A new bus interchange opened in 2022 beside the railway station and the Gordon Craig Theatre, which helps visitors without a car.
Funding and the cost of live-in care in Stevenage
After the assessment we give a weekly cost, which is higher for nurse-led care; paying for care and what live-in care costs explain more.
