Home care in St Ives
Home care in St Ives 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.
Your care plan is as individual as you are. We take time to understand your daily routines, challenging tasks, and activities that bring you joy. That might mean helping with shopping, cooking and light housekeeping, or simply being a friendly face to chat with over tea. If you enjoy getting out and about, we can support you to walk along the Cornwall Coast Path or visit St Ives Harbour, helping you stay connected to places and people that matter most.
We match you with a Care Professional who shares your interests and values, so visits feel natural and enjoyable rather than clinical or rushed. Our Care Professionals are carefully selected and trained to provide compassionate, reliable support that respects your preferences and maintains your dignity. Care can be arranged flexibly, from a few hours weekly to live-in support, and we'll adjust your plan as needs change. Whether you need occasional assistance or comprehensive daily support, our aim is helping you stay safe, independent, and living life on your own terms.
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
The secret to great care is grounded in genuine relationships. We never rush. Every visit lasts a minimum of one hour, giving us time to complete tasks properly and to have a real conversation. This unhurried approach builds trust and familiarity. We also ensure you see the same Care Professional each time, wherever possible. Knowing that a familiar face is coming through the door turns a care visit into something you can actually look forward to.
We understand everyone has their own preferences and routines. By listening carefully and observing how you like things done, we fit easily into your day, supporting you in the way that feels most comfortable. Whether you prefer a set order to the day or a more flexible plan, we adapt to you. That way, care is never a disruption. It becomes a natural part of life at home.
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!
