Home Care in Salisbury

Care at home for families across Salisbury

Protocol Healthcare Services provides trusted home care in Salisbury for older people, adults with disabilities and anyone who needs a little more support to stay safe and independent at home. Our team serves the cathedral city and the wider South Wiltshire area from our Bournemouth office, part of our Dorset and the South Coast catchment, so our Care Professionals can reach families from the city centre and Harnham through to Bemerton, Laverstock and Bishopdown.

Whether you are looking for a short daily visit to help a parent get up and dressed, or full-time live-in support after a hospital stay, we build the care around the person, not the other way round. Every Care Professional we place is vetted with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training before they support you, and the same familiar faces return wherever possible so trust can grow.

Local knowledge that makes a difference in Salisbury

Salisbury is a historic cathedral city where the rivers Avon and Nadder meet, with a settled older population in riverside neighbourhoods such as East and West Harnham, Fisherton and Milford, and busy family districts around Bemerton Heath, Bishopdown and Laverstock. Many of the people we support want to stay close to familiar places, whether that is a slow walk in the Cathedral Close beneath Britain's tallest spire, a Tuesday or Saturday visit to the Market Square and the Guildhall, or a coffee along the New Canal and Old George Mall. Our care is designed to keep those routines going, not replace them.

We regularly support people coming home from Salisbury District Hospital in Odstock, run by Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, which cares for families across South Wiltshire, North Dorset and West Hampshire. Getting the first few weeks at home right matters, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support after a stay at the hospital, and we keep in close contact with families and district nurses to spot any problems early.

Adult social care in the city is overseen by Wiltshire Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask Wiltshire Council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many of the families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different funding routes work so you can make a confident decision.
