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.

    Live-in care services to suit you

    Our live-in carers are dedicated to providing compassionate, round-the-clock live-in care and companionship in a supportive but unobtrusive manner, meaning you get all the support you need in the comfort of your own home. When one of our carers lives in your home with you, they will be able to assist you around the house in any way you need - including mobility, personal care, housework and attending appointments – allowing you to enjoy a more independent, fulfilling life.

    Why we're better than a care agency in Barnstaple

    Our sole purpose is to ensure you receive the best care possible in the comfort of your own home, and as a private home care provider we’re much better placed to do that than a home care agency. We’re fully regulated by the CQC and CIW, and we employ our carers directly rather than insisting on self-employment. Additionally, we’ve got 30-plus years of home care experience and expertise to draw upon, which is why you’ll always receive the highest standards of care with us.

    Respite care options at home

    Our respite care allows you to avoid the stressful situation of suddenly finding yourself without care at short notice. Whether your regular carer is suddenly unavailable or you find yourself in need of a short-term care option, we’re almost always able to provide emergency care cover within 24 hours’ notice, meaning you’re able to continue with your normal daily routine without worrying about no-one being around to support you with housework or personal care.
