Home care in Cornwall
Home care in Cornwall supports people to live independently and comfortably in the place they know best - home. Enter postcode of the person to find your nearest office and local care team.
Strong palliative care is built around people, not processes. Every family deserves support that reflects the unique needs and wishes of their loved one, which is why we spend time getting to know their routines, personality and the simple comforts that brighten each day. From their favourite pastimes to the time they like to have their tea in the afternoon, to the meaningful conversations they appreciate during this difficult period, these details all help to shape truly personalised care so we don't skip over any of them.
Our Care Professionals can provide whatever combination of care they need, such as personal care, housekeeping, medication management, mobility support, or just helping to preserve a calm and familiar home environment where rest is encouraged. Their approach can evolve alongside your loved one's changing needs while always respecting their personal wishes and staying in line with Care Quality Commission regulations, giving your family complete confidence that they are in good hands.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Support during palliative care feels different when it's provided by someone who genuinely knows and understands your loved one, which is why we carefully match each person with a dedicated Care Professional who will take the time to understand their personality, interests and individual preferences. This creates a relationship that develops naturally through regular visits and compassionate care. Whether accompanying them to appointments at Treliske Hospital, communicating with visiting healthcare teams, or simply offering reassurance at home during tough days, your loved one's Care Professional is there to provide both practical assistance and meaningful companionship when they need it most.
Specialist palliative care training equips every one of our Care Professionals to communicate with empathy, recognise changing needs and adapt support as sensitively as possible. Combined with regular family reviews and backing from our local office team, this helps us to deliver personalised care that's built on familiarity and trust, and feels like a good fit for your family.
Our Home Care Services
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!
