Live in Care in Devon
Devon’s sweeping coastlines, rustic lanes, and gentle moorland walks have a special charm. At Independent People Live In Care, we believe you should stay in the place you love, regardless of your care needs. Our five-star CQC rating (good in every area) and NHS experience ensure you’re in capable hands, right in the comfort of your own home.
How Can Live-in Care in Devon Help Your Loved One?
Live in care places a thoroughly trained carer under your roof—ready to support you around the clock. Whether it’s preparing home-cooked meals using Devon’s fresh produce, personal care, or simply sharing a conversation, it’s a level of continuity and attention a rotating team of carers can’t match.
Think of it as having a trusted companion day and night, making daily tasks easier, providing reassurance in case of emergencies, and even helping arrange medical appointments as needed. Above all, it lets you remain in the place you call home, where your memories live and familiar neighbours reside.

Our live in care services bring compassion right to your doorstep. Instead of juggling multiple caregivers or shifting to a care home, you have the reassurance of consistent help from one dedicated, well-trained carer. With them at hand day and night, you can focus on enjoying the seascapes, moorland walks, or simply the comfort of your armchair.
