Live-In Care in Devizes
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Devizes: a DBS-checked, trained carer comes to live in your relative's home, cooks, prompts medication and is on hand through the night, so the same front door, the same kettle and the same view stay in place. A first conversation can lead to a carer in the house within a day or two. Describe an ordinary day as it is at the moment, and we will explain how it might be made safer without shrinking it.
When the Royal United Hospital in Bath is sending someone home, the date is often given at short notice, and families find themselves asking who will be in the house when the ambulance or the taxi pulls up. Once a date has been mentioned, tell us, and the first afternoon and night at home can be organised in advance.
Clinics once held at Devizes Community Hospital now run from the Devizes Health Centre on Marshall Road, one more address for an unsteady memory to learn. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Devizes: Locks, Lanes and a Market Cross Every Day
Imagine a woman of eighty-one who worked on the Kennet and Avon Canal in her youth, as her father did before her, and who has not walked down to the water since her hip gave way. Her live-in carer takes her slowly to the Wharf, where they sit on one of the benches by the canal, and then on towards the foot of Caen Hill, where the 29 locks begin their climb. She counts them aloud, reminds the carer that sixteen of them run in a straight line, and tells a story about a barge stuck at the top that nobody has heard before. She is still talking about it over supper.
If someone you love has quietly given up an outing that once meant the world, tell us in your first call and the carer can start there. Ring us and we will look together at what could bring that afternoon back.
Walks like that depend on a plain, steady routine indoors, so here is what a live-in carer does through an ordinary day, from the first cup of tea in the morning to the last tablet at night.
A Slow, Warm Start
There is no hurry over the bathroom, the wardrobe or the porridge. Music can play if your relative wants it, and nobody is watching a clock for the next visit, since the carer is already under the roof.
Market Place and Beyond
On a good day the carer walks with your relative to Market Place, where the Market Cross stands and the Estcourt Fountain, put up in 1879, gives somewhere to pause. The Bear Hotel, one of the old coaching inns on the square, makes a good landmark to aim for.
Tablets and Clinic Days
Medication is handed over on schedule and logged each time. When there is a physiotherapy session or blood test at the Devizes Health Centre, the carer accompanies your relative, hears the advice first hand and reports to the family.
Home Cooking
The carer prepares what your relative really enjoys, adjusted to any dietary advice, from a Sunday roast to a simple supper on a tray. A short outing to the Wadworth brewery shop on Maryport Street can be the treat at the end of a good week.
Company and Conversation
Some afternoons call for the Wiltshire Museum in Long Street, which holds Bronze Age finds from around Stonehenge and Avebury, or for an evening at the Wharf Theatre. Other days suit a pot of tea and an album of old photographs, and the carer listens for the stories that follow.
Quiet Nights
Last thing, the carer sees that the doors are secure, a small light is glowing outside the bathroom and no rug is waiting to catch a foot. Should your relative wake confused in the small hours, reassurance is close by.

Why Devizes Families Choose NeeryVille Care
We searched for live in care in Devizes the way a worried son or daughter would, and then read what appeared. One national home care firm gives a price for live-in care but offers no mention of a local hospital or the council. A live-in specialist's Devizes page runs to under a thousand words, names nearby villages, and shows no price, no FAQ and no council link. A directory lists six providers by weekly price and nothing else about the town. This page sets the hospital, the council, a local dementia group and a single daily price side by side, and the carer who comes works for NeeryVille Care itself. Here is why Devizes families choose us.
The Same Person Each Day
Within a month the carer has picked up how the tea is brewed, where the sun lands in the afternoon and which tune lifts the mood. Bedtime is handled by somebody familiar instead of somebody new.
Our same-carer approach is built on that familiarity, which counts for most once dementia begins to blur faces.
Two Weeks to Be Sure
If it does not feel right, you can end the arrangement at any point in the first 14 days, with no notice and no fee.
This is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Devizes family can try live-in care without feeling committed.
Our Own Employees
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Each carer is employed, trained and supervised by us, not sent through an agency at the last minute. You can confirm our registration on the CQC website.
Guided by Clinicians
Every placement works within a clinical governance framework shaped by experienced clinicians, so care stays consistent for conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease or recovery from a stroke.
Settled Within Two Days
A ward can name a discharge date with little warning. For a relative leaving the Royal United Hospital in Bath, we act at once, and a well matched carer can normally be in the house in 24 to 48 hours, so 24 hour care in Devizes is waiting when the car draws up. Name the day and we count backwards from it.
Led by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care with specialist dementia experience, and he is personally accountable for every placement. Ring and you will speak to him or to a colleague who knows each case.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?
Call us on
0208 129 5854.
We will listen to your situation, answer every question you have and give you the time you need to make the right decision.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Dementia Care and Respite Care in Devizes: When Two Towns Share One Parent
Hardly any family chooses the moment. A brother in Bristol and a sister in Swindon share the driving, each leaving their mother alone in Devizes between visits and fretting on the road home about a hob left on.
Picture a man of eighty-four who lives near Southbroom and has always posted his own letters. After a stroke he is taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath, and the ward tells his children that going home alone is out of the question. A live-in carer moves in, prompts his tablets, cooks his dinners and sits with him in the evenings while he finds words again. The family stops driving in shifts, and the hall phone stops ringing with bad news. If that could be your father, call us before the next fall.
Over the weeks the carer learns the order of his mornings, and the daily worry slips out of the family's phone calls.
Maybe you are the one who has been holding everything together. With respite care in Devizes a live-in carer takes over at your relative's home for a weekend, a week or longer, and you get a proper night's sleep. Tell us your dates and the arrangements are ours.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Devizes
Our live-in carers in Devizes support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, from Southbroom, Wick and Roundway to Rowde, Potterne and Bishops Cannings (postcode SN10).
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Hearing Each Other at Home: Couples in Devizes
Consider a couple who have lived a short walk from St John's Church for fifty years. His hearing has all but gone, so he misses what she says, and her memory has begun to slip, so she repeats herself. Each has become the other's interpreter, and neither will hear of a care home.
A single carer living in the house can attend to them both, speaking clearly so he catches every word and staying close to her. Phone us and we will show how one placement can cover two people.

Why Devizes Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has spent a lifetime in Devizes, live-in care lets the market, the canal and the old churches carry on as part of their week.
Bishop Osmund's castle of 1080 gave the town its name, the first market is recorded in 1228, and the Corn Exchange followed in 1857. A person who has watched a town change over that long a story may find that no other address could ever be home.
At home they keep their own bed, their own cupboards and their own timetable. One carer lives in and learns the small habits, so breakfast and bedtime are with the same face, and two partners can stay together with one carer looking after both.
With no train since 1966 and clinics now at Marshall Road, getting to a Devizes appointment takes planning, and the Royal United Hospitals Bath trust runs outpatient services there. A live-in carer helps with the errands, the walks and the appointment days, and after a hospital stay the same carer can be at the door.
To talk about what might work for your family, ring us on 0208 129 5854. Ask whatever you like, with no obligation.
Devizes Live-In Care Price: £190 a Day, Set Out Plainly
Most people want the cost settled first, so here it is.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Devizes starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
After the free assessment you receive the exact figure in writing, and nothing is agreed until you have read it.
What the Daily Rate Covers
A busy Easter weekend in Devizes might include watching the start of the 125 mile canoe marathon to Westminster beside the canal, a stop at the Wiltshire Museum and a Sunday lunch at home. The daily rate pays for a carer who lives in and can be called on overnight, personal care at the bathroom and wardrobe, cooked dinners, medication given and logged, a firm arm at the stairs and company on trips to appointments and the shops.
A few situations, among them dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation, are best discussed in full before any price is agreed. Explain what is different about yours and we will go through it.
Paying for Care at Home in Devizes
NHS Continuing Healthcare, arranged through the NHS, can fund support where someone's needs are mainly medical, which makes it the first thing worth reading about.
Wiltshire Council's adult social care page gives 0300 456 0111 for its Advice and Contact Team, who decide whether an assessment is needed and may refer people to the Prevention and Wellbeing Team. We list this as information, and no family has to begin there.
Age UK Wiltshire (0808 196 2424) provides free, confidential advice on benefits and money, and has an office at Prince Maurice Court on Hambleton Avenue in Devizes. Alzheimer’s Support runs Movement for the Mind in the town on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.
Any application can go in while the care is already under way, so no family needs to hold back until a letter lands.

Four Steps to a Carer in Devizes
Picking up the phone is the hardest part, and after that the road is short.
01
Pick up the phone
Nothing needs preparing.
Ring 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or one of his colleagues will answer.
Tell us how things have been lately and we will talk through what is possible, with no forms and no pressure.
We hear situations like yours every day, and not much will surprise us.
03
We hear their story
We ask what Devizes has meant to your relative. It might be a school day at Southbroom House, the Corn Exchange, built in 1857 where grain was once traded, or a morning on Roundway Down. A single remembered afternoon can open an hour of conversation.
Everything we learn goes into the care plan, so the carer arrives knowing what to ask about. Call when the time feels right.
We find the right match
We put forward a carer only once experience, health needs and personality have been compared, since sharing a home depends on two people getting along.
After that, the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee lets you judge it over two weeks.
02
04
The carer moves in
The usual wait is a day or two after we first speak, shorter when a hospital has already given a discharge date.
If your relative is coming home from the Royal United Hospital in Bath or elsewhere, we plan for the carer to be waiting.
One contact at NeeryVille stays with you from the first call until things have settled.
Phone now and a carer could be unpacking beside your relative before the week is out. When a hospital has given a date, mention it and the plan is built around that day.
Our Registered Care Manager carries out the free assessment and keeps in touch afterwards to hear how the first few days have gone, so nobody is left to cope alone.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Devizes Families Ask About Live-In Care
How much does live-in care in Devizes cost?
Live-in care in Devizes costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, with no surprise charges. After the free assessment you are given the final figure in writing before you decide anything.
How quickly can live-in care start in Devizes?
A carer can usually be in place a day or two after your first call, even if you are ringing from a hospital ward. Everything begins with 0208 129 5854.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. A person with dementia often does better with one steady carer in familiar rooms than with a stream of new faces. Alzheimer’s Support runs Movement for the Mind at the Quaker Meeting Room on Sussex Wharf, and a memory assessment can be requested through your GP.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
Only your family can decide that. At home a person keeps their own bed, street and routine, and a couple are not separated. We set out the advantages and drawbacks honestly so the choice stays yours.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is unwell or away, we arrange a replacement, so your relative is never left alone in the house.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and you can see the registration on our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Devizes do you cover?
We cover the whole of Devizes and the villages around it, including Southbroom, Wick, Roundway, Rowde, Potterne and Bishops Cannings, in postcode SN10.
Do you offer respite care in Devizes?
Yes, we provide respite care in Devizes. If caring for a parent or partner has worn you out, a live-in carer can step into their home for a few days or several weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. If your relative is coming home from the Royal United Hospital in Bath or elsewhere, the carer can be in the house before they arrive, with the home warm and a plan agreed for the first night.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
Throughout the first 14 days you can stop the placement at any time, with no notice and no charge.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
You pay by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. Some households qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, or for help after Wiltshire Council has carried out an assessment, and Age UK Wiltshire can point out benefits you may have missed.
Is there a dementia group in Devizes where my husband could go with his carer?
Movement for the Mind, run by Alzheimer's Support, meets at the Quaker Meeting Room, Sussex Wharf, on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 2pm to 3.30pm, costs £5 or pay what you can, and needs no referral. The listing mentions a ramp, a toilet and parking, so a live-in carer can go along with him.
Where do hospital clinics happen now that Devizes Community Hospital services have moved?
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, podiatry, dietetics, diabetes and speech and language services moved to the Devizes Health Centre on Marshall Road, SN10 3UF, from Monday 9 January 2023. Outpatient services from the Royal United Hospitals Bath are also run there. Your relative's live-in carer can go to the appointment, listen and report back.
Can someone who walks slowly still enjoy Caen Hill Locks?
The Canal and River Trust says Caen Hill is a short walk along the towpath from Devizes Wharf, where there is a café, benches and a pay and display car park. The towpath is always open. A live-in carer can pick a calm hour, choose how far to go and turn back whenever your relative has had enough.
