Flexible hourly home and visiting care in West Bromwich
Not everyone needs round-the-clock support. For a great many people in West Bromwich, the right answer is a helping hand at the right moments of the day: someone to prompt the morning tablets, help with a wash and dress, put a proper meal on the table, and check that all is well before bed. That is what home and visiting care is for. Visits can be as short as 30 minutes or built up to several calls a day, and the schedule is yours to shape. Protocol Healthcare Services has arranged this kind of flexible support for more than a decade, and we bring the same care to the Sandwell borough that we apply everywhere we work.
We will be honest about how we operate. Our offices are in the South of England, so we do not run a shopfront around New Square or Carters Green. Instead we run a genuinely national service, coordinating vetted, background-checked Care Professionals wherever they are needed. Everyone we place has completed enhanced DBS and right-to-work checks, references and training before they start, and a consultant is on hand around the clock, so a family in Hill Top or Yew Tree gets the same dependable service as one on our doorstep.

Care that fits around your day
The strength of visiting care is that it flexes. Some people we support in Charlemont or Stone Cross want just one call each morning to get the day started safely. Others build a full pattern of four visits, from a wash and breakfast to a hot lunch, a teatime call and a settle at bedtime. A short drop-in might be no more than a friendly face and a medication prompt; a longer visit gives time for a bath, a cooked meal and a proper chat. As needs change, the schedule changes with them, without anyone having to leave the home they have known for years, whether that is a terrace near the High Street or a bungalow out towards Great Barr.
Local knowledge across West Bromwich
West Bromwich is a busy Black Country town within Sandwell, running from the town centre and Carters Green out to Great Barr, Charlemont, Hateley Heath, Stone Cross, Greets Green, Hill Top, Friar Park, Yew Tree, Lyng, Golds Hill and Tantany. Most addresses fall within the B70 and B71 postcodes, with Great Barr reaching into B43. We plan visits around the routines that matter to each person, whether that is a regular walk in Sandwell Valley Country Park, a trip to the shops around New Square, catching up with neighbours near Dartmouth Park, or simply keeping a comfortable rhythm at home. Reliable timekeeping and a consistent, familiar face are what make visiting care work, and that is what we set out to deliver.
Visiting care is also one of the safest ways to settle back in after a hospital stay. When someone is discharged from Sandwell General Hospital on Lyndon or the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, both run by Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, regular check-in visits help prompt medication, watch for early warning signs and rebuild confidence in the first weeks home, which can make the difference between recovering steadily and being readmitted.
Funding your visiting care in West Bromwich
Visiting care is priced by the visit, so you only pay for the time you need, and we give you a clear quote before anything starts. Many Sandwell families self-fund, but you may qualify for help. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council can carry out a free care needs assessment followed by a financial assessment, and some people receive support through a personal budget or direct payment. Our team is always happy to talk the options through, and you can read more on our paying for care guide or browse our full range on the services page.
