Arranging personal care at home can make life easier, safer, and more comfortable for your loved one. Whether managing daily routines has become more challenging or extra support is needed following illness or hospital stays, our kind Care Professionals provide tailored assistance. Families often find that elderly personal care at home helps loved ones keep their dignity while reducing risks such as falls or poor hygiene. Unlike agency carers who may rush visits, our team in Ivybridge and the South Hams take time to provide gentle, unrushed support, giving both clients and families reassurance and trust.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Every family’s situation is different, so our personal care services in Ivybridge, Plympton, Plymstock and the South Hams are always customised. A care plan may include help with bathing, assistance with medication, or support getting ready for the day. Just as important is building confidence and routine. One client, for example, looks forward to her Care Professional’s morning visits, where she receives help getting dressed before enjoying a stroll into town. These small but important routines bring comfort to clients and reassurance to families, ensuring care is practical, respectful and life-enhancing.
