Your Local Office
The team here at Home Instead West Exeter and Teignbridge are proud to provide expert home care in St Thomas. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
Getting out and about is a big part of what we do. A Care Professional might accompany someone on a walk to Exeter Quay for coffee, help them get to a community group, or ensure they can collect a book order from the library without worrying about the trip. These ordinary things keep people connected to places and people they love. At home, we help with daily practicalities, whether that's watering plants, keeping on top of laundry, or preparing a favourite meal. We also assist with light housekeeping, organising medication, or helping with correspondence and appointments. The idea is that someone can carry on running their home and enjoying their week, maintaining independence with the right support. We offer hourly visiting care during the day, overnight support (sleeping or waking), and live-in care for those needing more comprehensive assistance. Visits fit around existing commitments and personal preferences, so care slots into someone's life rather than rearranging it. This flexible approach means people maintain routines and continue doing what matters most.
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.

As I got older, I realised that this service had made me happy in my own home.

We make sure visits last at least one hour, because good support takes time. In shorter visits, everything feels rushed, and the person receiving care can feel like a task list rather than a person. Without being hurried, there's time to help someone get dressed at their own pace, prepare lunch together, and still sit down for conversation afterwards. Our Care Professionals aren't clock-watching or rushing to the next appointment. They're present, focused on the person in front of them, able to respond to how someone is feeling that day. We match each client with a consistent Care Professional based on shared interests and personality, not just availability. That consistency means they already know how someone likes their tea made, how they prefer things done, what they enjoy talking about, and when they'd rather have quiet company. This familiarity creates genuine relationships built on understanding and respect.
When comparing options, it's worth understanding the difference between a fully managed service and an introduction care agency in St Thomas. We operate as a fully managed service, meaning our team handles everything: care planning, scheduling, training, supervision, and quality checks. Our Care Professionals are employed directly by us, not self-employed. We manage holiday cover, handle care plan changes, and stay in regular contact with families. Something needs adjusting? We take care of it. We coordinate replacement cover if a Care Professional is unwell, ensuring continuity of care. We're CQC-regulated, and our local team coordinates all aspects of each client's support so families don't have to manage the details themselves. Payroll, insurance, and compliance sit with us. Our Care Professionals receive comprehensive training and ongoing support, including regular supervisions and competency assessments. This means complete confidence in care standards, with every aspect professionally managed.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
