Trusted care and staffing in Cwmbran

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers connected to Cwmbran and the wider Torfaen area. 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 should be honest about how we are set up. Our base is in the South of England, so we do not run a local office on the high street in Cwmbran. What we do run is a carefully coordinated service: for home care we arrange support in Cwmbran 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. On the staffing side our reach is genuinely national, so Cwmbran and the rest of Torfaen are very much within the areas we cover, whether you are a family looking for care at home or a provider that needs qualified people on the rota.

Every enquiry starts with a proper conversation rather than a fixed package. We take the time to understand the person, their routine and the level of support they want, then match a Care Professional whose experience and personality fit. Because care in Wales is arranged around what matters to each individual, we keep plans flexible and review them as needs change, adding or reducing visits, stepping up to overnight or live-in cover, or bringing in a nurse when the situation calls for it.

Local knowledge across Cwmbran

Cwmbran is one of the three main towns of Torfaen, alongside Pontypool and Blaenavon, and it grew as a post-war new town at the head of the valleys just north of Newport. Today it is home to distinctive communities such as Old Cwmbran, Croesyceiliog, Llantarnam, Pontnewydd, Fairwater, Greenmeadow, Two Locks and Llanyrafon, each with its own character. Care needs vary just as much from one neighbourhood to the next, from the streets around the Cwmbran Shopping Centre to the greener edges near the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal and Greenmeadow Community Farm, so we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. The town sits mainly within the NP44 postcode area.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay in hospital. For most people in Cwmbran emergency and acute care is now provided at The Grange University Hospital in Llanfrechfa, on the eastern edge of the town, which opened in November 2020 as part of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. 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 the town is overseen by Torfaen County Borough Council under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, which puts a person's own well-being and goals at the centre of the support they receive. In Wales, home care providers are regulated by Care Inspectorate Wales, the national inspectorate for care and social services, and this is the framework any local care in Cwmbran works within. 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, from council-arranged support and direct payments through to private funding.
