Live-in Care Across the South West, Trusted and Fully Managed
At Independent People, we provide one-to-one trusted live-in care in the South West of England — including Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and Bath and North East Somerset. Whether you live in a quiet coastal village or a busy market town, our trained carers help you stay safe, comfortable and independent in the place you know best — your home.
Coastal Calm, Countryside Comfort
From the shores of Cornwall to the hills of Gloucestershire, the South West offers a beautiful and varied landscape. We believe care should match that same local character — calm, consistent and tailored to you. Our live-in carers support everything from help with medication and mobility to companionship and cooking, all while respecting the pace of life you’re used to.

Helping You Stay Local — From Market Towns to Moorland Villages
Live-in care allows people to stay in their own community, even when care needs grow. Whether you’re based near Dartmoor, in a Cornish fishing village, or among the Cotswold hills, our carers provide tailored support without needing to leave the familiarity of home. We help people stay connected to their neighbours, routines and pets — all while receiving 24-hour care.
Real-Life Care Stories from Cornwall, Devon & Beyond
Newquay. One client needed round-the-clock care after a stroke but didn’t want to leave his coastal bungalow. Our carer helped him regain confidence, continue daily walks and remain close to his family.
Herefordshire. We supported an elderly couple who wanted to stay together despite increasing frailty. With a dedicated carer living in, they kept their routines, enjoyed their garden and avoided the disruption of residential care.
Specialist Support for South West Lifestyles
We understand the unique needs of those receiving live-in care in the South West. Whether it’s support after hospital treatment at the Royal Devon and Exeter or help managing dementia at home, we match you with a carer who fits your lifestyle and needs. Many of our carers support people who love being outdoors, have pets or want to stay active in their local community.
Working Hand-in-Hand with Local NHS Teams
Our care plans are shaped by NHS-trained professionals and regularly coordinated with local health services across the South West. We’ve helped people return home safely from hospitals in Bristol, Exeter, Truro and beyond. We work closely with district nurses, GPs and discharge planners to make sure everyone involved is on the same page.
Funding Live-in Care in the South West
Paying for live-in care in the South West doesn’t have to be confusing. Some families qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), which can fully fund live-in care. Others use local authority direct payments, private funds or a combination. We’ll explain your options and guide you step-by-step — including help with applications for CHC and liaising with your local council.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can live-in care start?
We can usually place a fully vetted carer within 24–48 hours of your enquiry, depending on complexity and location.
Can couples share one live-in carer?
Yes. One carer can support both partners, allowing couples to remain together at home and often saving on overall costs.
What happens if my needs change?
