We provide award winning care in Barnstaple, Bideford, Braunton, South Molton, Northam, Fremington, Landkey, Bratton Fleming, Kings Nympton, Combe Martin and the surrounding areas
Homes across Devon each have their own habits, and these details guide how we shape palliative care. Some people prefer a peaceful start to the day with the radio on low; others enjoy conversation while they get ready. A favourite breakfast, a familiar chair by the window or routines connected to cultural or spiritual practices can all influence what helps someone feel more settled. We take time to understand these preferences so the support we provide feels natural and respectful.
Care Professionals offer help with washing, dressing, gentle movement, making warm drinks and preparing simple meals. They may tidy the immediate space, organise clothing, adjust lighting or set up a comfortable environment for rest. Every visit is tailored to the person's comfort level, recognising that needs can vary from one day to the next. We stay flexible, responding to how someone feels in the moment.
Fully regulated by the CQC, families receive steady support that reduces strain and helps them focus on spending meaningful time together.
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
As health needs change, daily tasks can become more tiring. Our Care Professionals provide calm, capable support that helps people stay comfortable at home. This may include assistance with personal care, helping someone with household tasks, preparing for the evening or keeping essential areas of the home organised and easy to access. We also pay close attention to how someone seems physically and emotionally, adjusting our pace and approach so support never feels overwhelming.
Some individuals appreciate gentle conversation and reassurance, while others prefer quiet moments and slower movements. Our team responds to these cues throughout the visit, ensuring care aligns with how the person is feeling on that particular day. Families often tell us that this steady, sensitive help eases pressure and brings a sense of calm during an uncertain time.
Our aim is always to maintain comfort, preserve dignity and make each day feel more manageable.

Palliative care touches every member of the family, and many households across Devon appreciate having dependable support during this stage. Our role is to ease some of the emotional and practical load by offering steady assistance at home, where familiar surroundings can bring reassurance. Care Professionals help with personal routines, support safe movement, prepare light meals and create a relaxed environment that encourages rest and comfort.
Families often feel unsure about what each day may bring, so having someone who understands the gentle shifts of this stage can provide clarity and peace of mind. We listen carefully, share observations when helpful and adapt our visits to complement the care already in place. This flexible support allows relatives to step back from constant responsibility and spend time together in a more peaceful, meaningful way.
By offering consistent, compassionate help, we support both the individual and the wider family through a challenging period.
