Home care in Ilfracombe
Visiting care and home care in Ilfracombe
Ilfracombe has its beginnings in the Iron Age, when the dominant Hillsborough (formerly Hele's Barrow) hill was settled upon. Ilfracombe has a strong artistic reputation, with an annual arts festival and several art galleries; in addition, many famous thespians, painters and literary figures have at one time or another lived in the town.
Whether you’re looking for visiting care from just 30 minutes a week or you’d prefer around the clock support with live-in care, our compassionate carers will support you to remain in the home you love while living as independently as possible. Your routines and preferences will always be at the centre of your bespoke support plan, which has the flexibility to change whenever your needs dictate it.
Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Ilfracombe 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.
