Our Care Professionals support people living with dementia with care tailored to individual needs and everyday life. We take time to understand what brings comfort, whether that's a favourite armchair, the sound of the sea, or a walk through a local park. Care plans follow personal routines from morning through to evening, including help with meals that feel familiar, hydration reminders and practical guidance that keeps the day manageable.
Some clients enjoy time in the garden or sitting beside a view along the river, while others find reassurance in looking through photographs or listening to music from earlier years. Every Care Professional completes City & Guilds-assured dementia training, learning approaches that support memory, communication and emotional wellbeing.
We monitor changes in mobility, mood or cognition and adjust care plans as needs evolve. Families receive guidance on adjustments that support a quieter, safer home environment. Regulated by the CQC, Home Instead provides dependable dementia care rooted in understanding.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Our approach in Devon centres on understanding the person behind the diagnosis and recognising what helps them feel steady at home. Care Professionals learn the small details that matter, such as preferred routines, familiar surroundings or the kind of conversation that feels most reassuring. This relationship builds gradually, helping people feel more at ease each time we visit.
Communication is adapted sensitively. Sometimes this means repeating information gently, offering clear prompts or sitting quietly when someone finds conversation tiring. Confusion is met with reassurance rather than correction, so each person feels supported and respected.
Activities reflect interests, whether that involves listening to favourite music, tending to plants, enjoying the fresh air or attending dementia-friendly events. We keep teams small so the same Care Professionals visit regularly. This consistency helps reduce anxiety and makes it easier to observe well-being.
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!

Our Devon Team is With You Through Every Step
Caring for someone with dementia affects the whole family, which is why our home care includes support for relatives as well. We stay in close contact so families know how things are going and feel reassured that any changes are shared. Our office team is always available to answer questions, adjust care plans or offer guidance when situations become more challenging.
Because a small, consistent team visits regularly, Care Professionals notice subtle shifts in mood, behaviour or physical ability. Families often tell us that understanding these early signs helps them plan ahead with greater confidence. We also offer practical advice on adapting the home environment, such as simplifying routines or creating calmer spaces that support day-to-day living.
Many relatives find it helpful to have someone who understands dementia to talk to when uncertainties arise. Across Devon, we are here with dependable, compassionate help whenever needed.
Our dementia care in Devon is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
Having someone stay in your home to provide care can feel daunting, but our live-in care solutions help to bring older adults more independence and enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing. If you value the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is always someone nearby, live-in care in Devon could be an excellent alternative to a care home.
The right support is crucial when managing pain and end-of-life care. Our palliative care focuses on dignity and enables your loved one to remain in the place they feel happiest. We provide considerate palliative care in Devon, so you can spend more meaningful moments together while we carefully manage their pain and comfort.
Taking a break from caring can feel impossible if your loved one is lonely or has challenging health conditions, but our respite care in Devon is designed to step in with dependable care at any time. Whether you're recharging your batteries or managing other commitments, our Care Professionals can provide reliable support, so you can take time to yourself without disrupting routines.
