Home Care in St Austell

At Home Instead St Austell, we provide a full range of home care services to help people live independently and comfortably in their own homes. Our support includes personal care (help with washing, dressing, and mobility), companionship care to reduce loneliness, dementia care delivered by trained specialists, and home help such as shopping, meals, and household tasks.
Every care plan is tailored to the person’s individual needs, routines, and preferences — giving families peace of mind and clients the confidence to live well at home.

We know that when care is needed, it’s often urgent. Our St Austell home care team can usually arrange support within just a few days. We start with a home care consultation where we visit you or your loved one at home to assess needs, habits, and goals.
From there, we create a bespoke care plan and match you with one of our local Care Professionals in St Austell. Once everything is in place, care can begin quickly and is regularly reviewed as needs change.

Companionship care in St Austell offers emotional and social support for older adults who may feel lonely or isolated. Our Care Professionals visit regularly for conversation, shared activities, or trips out — whether it’s a visit to St Austell town centre, the Eden Project, or a walk along the coast.
This type of care helps maintain social connections, boosts well-being, and brings joy to everyday life.

It’s very common for older adults to feel nervous or reluctant about accepting home care in St Austell, especially if they’ve always valued their independence. At Home Instead St Austell, we understand how sensitive this can be.

Our first step is usually to gather some background information and then arrange an informal chat over a cup of tea or coffee with one of our friendly care coordinators. This relaxed conversation often helps to reassure your loved one that we’re simply there to help — not to take over.

Our Care Professionals in St Austell and Carlyon Bay don’t wear uniforms, which helps visits feel natural and personal. We start gently, perhaps with a little help around the home or some friendly companionship visits, building trust at your loved one’s pace.

Once people experience the warmth and consistency of our care, they almost always welcome the support. A simple first step is to suggest “just trying it for a couple of weeks” — many families find this helps overcome early worries and opens the door to genuine comfort and connection at home.
