Home care in South West
Home care in South West 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.
We provide award winning care in Barnstaple, Bideford, Braunton, South Molton, Northam, Fremington, Landkey, Bratton Fleming, Kings Nympton, Combe Martin and the surrounding areas
Every care plan starts with getting to know someone: understanding when they prefer to get up, how they like their home kept, and what their week looks like. Someone enjoys a cooked breakfast at nine and prefers their laundry folded a certain way? That's how we do it.
Getting out and about is part of life. Our Care Professionals help with that too, whether it's a trip to the shops, a walk in the park, or an afternoon at Lanhydrock House. Staying connected to favourite places and familiar routines matters as much as any other kind of support.
We're regulated by the CQC (Care Quality Commission), and our Care Professionals are carefully trained to provide personal care at whatever pace feels right, with privacy and dignity always respected. Support might also include preparing a favourite meal, helping with pet care, or working through a crossword together. For those living with dementia or long-term health conditions, we tailor our approach to suit changing needs, with continuity from familiar faces they trust.
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.
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 Care Starts With Connection
Trust between a Care Professional and a client doesn't happen overnight. It grows through small, repeated things: remembering how someone likes their morning routine, knowing which cupboard the dog treats are kept in, noticing when they seem a bit quieter than usual.
We match Care Professionals to clients based on personality and shared interests, not just availability. Because we have a minimum one-hour visit, there's time to do things properly rather than rushing through a checklist. We also aim for consistency, so clients see the same familiar faces rather than a different person each visit. Our Care Professionals don't wear uniforms either, which helps the whole thing feel more like having someone round than receiving a service.
Over weeks and months, that familiarity adds up. A Care Professional who knows a person well spots changes early, adapts without being asked, and provides support that fits naturally into someone's day.
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 South West Team is With You Through Every Step
When comparing options for a care agency in the South West, it's worth looking at how the service is run behind the care itself. We operate as a fully managed service, which means our office team handles the coordination so nothing falls through the gaps.
Our team manages scheduling, matches Care Professionals to clients, and carries out regular quality reviews. If a family has a concern or a client's needs change, there's always someone available to respond. We don't rely on families to manage things themselves or source cover at short notice. Families stay updated too, so they know how things are going without having to chase for information.
Every Care Professional is employed directly by us, with ongoing training, supervision, and support from our local management team. Rotas are planned carefully to maintain consistency, so the same familiar faces show up each week, building trust and a genuine sense of continuity.
Our dementia care in South West 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 South West 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 South West, 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 South West 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.
