Having a live in carer allows you to stay in your own home and lead as normal a life as possible. Live in carers duties vary and can include some domestic work, such as light cleaning, helping with or preparing food, assisting the client with bathing and dressing. They may also accompany the client on shopping trips, walks etc.
Dementia is a term used to cover a range of progressive disorders affecting the brain. Arguably the best known is Alzheimer’s disease.
There is no set reason or age for a person requiring personal care. Devoncare can provide the type of Personal care that fits the individual client needs. This could be a short term requirement, or an ongoing. Either way Devoncare will be able to satisfy the clients needs.
Palliative care sometimes called "supportive care" is ongoing care for someone with a terminal illness and their family. The aim is to ensure the person enjoys as fulfilling a quality of life as possible given their circumstance.
End of life care is similar in many ways to Palliative care. The main difference is this is providing support, care and treatment for people nearing the end of life.

Mr X wanted to call us directly to thank us for his mother Birthday and would like to thank us for everything we do for his wife, especially Halimat, Reshmi and Harrison. Mr X informed me that all staff members working with his wife are absolutely fantastic with her and he knows how challenging his wife can be at times due to her illness but he cannot thank Devoncare and the staff enough for all the care and support we provide Mr X said we are very attentive and care immensely for his mother.

We had the sudden need for help looking after one parent. Devoncare came to the rescue like a knight in shining armour. Lloyd not only fully understood our needs, but had a live in helper organised and Chi arrived the next morning. Not only did Chi crasp what help was needed both physically but medically as well. We couldn't have wished for more. Can thoroughly recommend Devoncare.
With its vibrant office and first class managerial stuff, it’s a truly exciting prospect to be part of an extended family with a good forecast on success
The best healthcare provider and employer in Plymouth and Cornwall.
Lovely company to work for. Great and understanding management. Would definitely recommend.
