Trusted care and staffing across Bootle

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Bootle and the wider Sefton borough. 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, but as an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency our staffing reach is genuinely national. We coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Bootle the same way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock. We do not run a local office in Bootle, so everything is handled by phone, email and home visits arranged to suit you.

Local knowledge across Bootle

Bootle sits on the north bank of the River Mersey, next to the Port of Liverpool docks and just north of Liverpool city centre. It is a close knit town with a strong sense of community, taking in neighbourhoods such as Litherland, Netherton, Orrell, Seaforth, Ford, Linacre and Marsh Lane, along with the town centre around Stanley Road and The Strand shopping centre. Care needs vary from street to street, from busy terraced streets close to the docks to the newer estates around Netherton, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. Local landmarks such as Bootle Town Hall on Oriel Road, North Park and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal are familiar to the families we support, and we work around the routines that matter to each household.

Most Bootle addresses fall within the L20, L21 and L30 postcode areas, reaching into Seaforth and Litherland to the north and Netherton to the east. We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Aintree University Hospital in Fazakerley, which is part of Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and serves much of Sefton. 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.

Adult social care in Bootle is overseen by Sefton Council, whose adult social care team is based on Stanley Road in the town. 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. Care providers are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator for health and social care in England. 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.
