Care in St Austell, Carlyon Bay, Duporth and Sticker

Home Instead provides premium, relationship led care for older people in their own homes in St Austell Bay. Our high quality, fully managed home care service enables people to carry on enjoying their lives as independently as possible in their own homes where they wish to be.

Our care can be anything from a cup of tea and a chat, to trips out in the local area; take in the sights at Charlestown, a gentle amble through the gardens at Heligan or Pinetum or the spectacular Eden project with some caring company for full peace of mind.

As needs change with time we can provide more specialist services, such as dementia care or support with washing and dressing. We ask ” What does or would a good day look like? ” and help a person achieve this rather than just focussing on medical needs or frailties.
