In Colyton and East Devon, we support people with dementia in maintaining community connections. Our Care Professionals often take clients to Colyton Town Hall events or gentle walks in the Umborne Valley to keep them engaged. A morning trip to Colyton’s market square for shopping might be followed by tea at a local cafe where the friendly staff know them. For those less able to go out, we bring the community to them—organising gardening, or helping maintain ties with Colyton’s community groups and church activities that have been part of their lives for years.
We are led by Directors Mark and Vanessa McGlade, who introduced Home Instead to East Devon in 2011 after experiencing poor quality care when supporting their own grandmother. Our team includes Sophie, a Devon-based medical doctor, and Laura, our General Manager since 2013, whose background in health and social care adds valuable expertise to services. With 20 dedicated office staff members based at our office in Exeter, we’re easily accessible to families seeking advice or wishing to meet us in person to discuss their loved one’s needs. We invest heavily in training our Care Professionals, ensuring they’re equipped with advanced dementia care techniques and approaches that respect dignity and promote independence. Our commitment to creating dementia-friendly communities extends throughout Colyton and the wider East Devon area. We deliver comprehensive dementia workshops for families and friends, providing practical strategies for better communication and understanding of their loved ones’ experiences. Our team regularly collaborates with GPs and pharmacies to ensure seamless care coordination and hosts free community talks on recognising early signs of dementia at local venues. By offering dementia awareness training to local businesses – from the supermarket to the post office – we’re helping make everyday interactions more supportive for people living with dementia.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
