Research shows people often recover better at home, surrounded by familiar routines. Our recovery care at home is designed to reduce stress, minimise the risk of complications and promote wellbeing. Families in Ivybridge and the South Hams choose us because our Care Professionals can adapt support to any situation, whether short-term help after surgery, ongoing care during rehabilitation, or extra reassurance in the first few weeks back from hospital. Knowing your loved one is safe, comfortable and supported allows you to focus on their wellbeing rather than worry.
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 recovery is unique, which is why our postoperative care in Ivybridge, Plympton, Plymstock and the South Hams is flexible and personalised. Support may include arranging transport home, collecting prescriptions, preparing meals, assistance with mobility, or light housekeeping. One client, for example, relied on daily visits after a hip operation, where her Care Professional helped with exercises, cooked nourishing meals and accompanied her to follow-up appointments. This kind of tailored support helps people regain independence while offering families peace of mind that recovery is progressing safely at home.

Home Instead Ivybridge is one of 250 locally owned offices that collectively form Home Instead UK. Together, we care for 16,000 clients, delivering one million hours of home care each month. This unique combination of community-focused local offices and the resources of a national network enables us to provide personalised, relationship-led care while leading research and innovation that is transforming the experience of aging. Our services include companionship care, personal care, specialist care (including dementia, palliative, and Parkinson’s), and live-in care.
Whether your illness or injury meant you were in hospital or could stay in your own home, it can leave many people feeling drained. It is important that you don’t rush back into doing as much as you did beforehand. Extra help around the house with daily tasks can remove pressure and allow you time to recover.
Many people find that they benefit from care in their own home, allowing them to recover in a familiar environment rather than having to adjust to new surroundings.
Rehabilitation care is often only needed for a short period of time after illness or injury. If your needs change at any time, Home Instead will be there at every stage working with your clinical team to provide as much help as you need.
Similar to rehabilitation and recuperation care, reablement care is an invaluable step in getting your loved one out of hospital and back to living independently, and is better delivered at home for best results.
Enable your loved ones to continue to live their life with the support of the Ivybridge team. If you would like to hear what clients say about us please take a peek at our Home Care verified reviews.
