Visiting care and home care in Barnstaple
Embedded deep into bucolic North Devon, the charming river-port town of Barnstaple holds claim to being the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. The town centre is host to a number of fascinating historic locations, including the site where Barnstaple Castle once stood.
It’s also home to our Barnstaple home care team, who have over 30 years’ experience in providing dedicated, compassionate and flexible home care. With packages starting from as little as 30 minutes a week, we’re sure to be able to support your specific needs and allow you to enjoy independence in your own home.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Barnstaple team can help.
We've been caring for people for decades, helping them maintain their independence and continue to live well in the homes and communities they love.
Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you peace of mind that we meet the highest standards of service and care.
Thousands of our customers have shared their experiences of care with us on customer review site Trustpilot with Helping Hands rated 4.7 out of 5.
We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.
We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.
When finding care becomes a decision for the wider family, we can help you consider your options. We keep in touch once care is in place so we can adapt care as needs change.
