Personal care cannot be rushed. Short 15- or 30-minute visits often leave people feeling hurried while trying to shower, dress, or get ready. For someone who is frail or living with memory loss, this can be stressful and unsettling. At Home Instead Mid Cornwall, our Care Professionals provide support with visits of at least one hour, giving plenty of time for patient, dignified care and reassurance.
This encourages independence, allowing people to do what they can themselves while receiving respectful assistance. By building trust, confidence, and a strong relationship, our experienced team ensures personal care enhances wellbeing. Serving St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Fowey, and Lostwithiel, we are here to support every step of the way.

We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Accepting help with personal care, such as washing and dressing, can be difficult. Conditions like Dementia, Parkinson’s, or frailty can make it hard to manage independently. At Home Instead Mid Cornwall, we work closely with clients, providing reassurance, encouragement, and support while maintaining dignity and privacy.
Margaret’s daughter had been worried about her mother in Bodmin not looking like herself. “Mum had always dressed well and wanted to look her best. Your Caregivers have helped her look great, and she now enjoys afternoon tea at Lanhydrock House twice a week.” We also support clients in St Austell, Wadebridge, Fowey, and Lostwithiel, helping them feel confident and cared for every day.
