Live-In Care in Exeter
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Exeter, from the cathedral city centre out to St Thomas, Exwick, Alphington and Pinhoe. A trained, DBS-checked carer moves into your relative's spare room and stays through the day and the night. Your relative keeps their own front door, their own kitchen and their own routine, and families looking for a live in carer in Exeter get one named person rather than a rota.
If your relative is a patient at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford) on Barrack Road, tell us the moment a discharge is mentioned. We speak to the ward early, so the house is warm and a carer is waiting when the car pulls up.
Exeter has its own pace, from the quay to Northernhay Gardens, and a carer fits around it. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will talk through what your family needs.

Live-In Care at Home in Exeter: Cathedral Stone, Quayside Strolls and Northernhay Gardens Colour
A Saturday in Exeter might begin at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum on Queen Street, open Tuesday to Sunday, where the Exeter Time Trail follows the city's story across more than 250,000 years. The carer helps your relative wash and dress, chooses a warm coat and goes along, taking the step-free route your relative prefers. Lunch might be at the Chapter House Café beside the cathedral, which is step-free too.
In the afternoon the quay is a calm place to sit, beside the ship canal first dug in 1566. If a day like that sounds right for your relative, phone us and we will arrange a free assessment.
Days like that rest on small, steady routines, so here is what a live-in carer does from the first cup of tea to the last tablet at night.
Morning Personal Care
Washing, dressing and breakfast follow your relative's own pace, because the live-in carer is already in the house and never rushing. In Exeter, Northernhay Gardens, laid out in 1612, makes a pleasant first outing.
Company and Chat
Conversation fills the day, from the morning paper to old photographs, and a live-in carer is glad to listen. Exeter is a UNESCO City of Literature, so books and poetry make good talking points.
Tablets and Appointments
Every dose is given on time and recorded, and the carer goes with your relative to appointments, then updates the family. In Exeter, the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford) sits on Barrack Road.
Meals and Shopping
Meals are cooked fresh to your relative's taste and the carer handles the weekly shopping list, so the fridge never runs bare. Exeter's central Princesshay shopping area was completed between 2005 and 2007.
Fresh Air Outings
Outings are paced to your relative's energy, with a seat found whenever one is needed and the carer offering an arm throughout. Exeter Quay has a canal basin dug in 1830 and a cable ferry.
Safe Steps and Nights
Overnight the live-in carer is in the house, close enough to hear a call, steady a wobble on the stairs and settle a restless mind. Exeter families value that quiet reassurance after a fall.

What Exeter Families Weigh Up Before Choosing NeeryVille Care
Choosing care for someone you love in Exeter means weighing cost, trust and how much of the day-to-day stays familiar. Families tell us they want a price stated openly, a carer who is employed rather than agency-supplied, a clear answer about the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford) when a discharge comes, and the freedom to change their minds early on. Here is how we answer each of those worries, one by one. If you have been looking at elderly care in Exeter, care at home in Exeter and home care in Exeter, here is how live-in care in Exeter works, step by step.
One Familiar Carer
One person at the kitchen table each morning matters more than most people expect. Your relative's carer learns the favourite mug, the radio station and the order of the day, and your relative is greeted by someone who already knows them.
Our same-carer approach matters most when memory is slipping, because a face that stays the same gives a muddled day some shape.
Fourteen Days to Decide
Not every match is right first time, and we would rather you found out quickly. Within the first 14 days you can end the placement with nothing to pay and no notice to give.
That promise is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so an Exeter family can test live-in care without risk.
Carers We Employ
Every carer is employed by NeeryVille Care, trained and DBS-checked, rather than passed to us by an agency. You can confirm our registration on the CQC website for yourself at any time.
Clinical Oversight
Care plans sit within our clinical governance framework, so clinicians review how your relative is doing and the carer is never left to decide alone.
Hospital Discharge Home
A discharge from the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford) can be agreed at short notice. After our assessment a carer is normally in the house within 24 to 48 hours, so hospital discharge care at home in Exeter is in place when your relative returns. Ring us early and we will plan the first evening together.
Led by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care with specialist dementia training. Call us and you will speak to him or to a colleague on the care team.

Live-In Care or Respite Care in Exeter: Which Fits Your Family?
Most families do not decide in a single afternoon. Live-in care is worth thinking about when help is needed overnight as well as by day, and your relative would be unhappy anywhere but home.
Imagine a widower in St Thomas who has had two falls since the spring. After a night in the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford) his daughter takes a week off work, but cannot do it for ever. A carer who lives in the house, learns his tablets and notices when he is unsteady answers both of their worries together. Telephone us before the next fall, not after it.
Our assessment starts by asking what a good day looks like for him, and the plan grows from his answers.
Perhaps you are the one worn out. Live-in respite care in Exeter lets you sleep through the night, knowing a carer you have already met is looking after the house and the person you love.
The Conditions Our Exeter Carers Support
Our live-in carers in Exeter support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, across Exeter and the wider area, from Topsham to Pinhoe and Cranbrook. If you are searching for dementia care in Exeter, a live-in carer in Exeter stays through the day and night, so the person living with dementia keeps the same face and the same routine.
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.
Staying Together in Exeter: Couples and Live-In Care
Picture a couple in Whipton who have been married for fifty-odd years. He has early dementia and she has poor eyesight, and between them they manage, but only just, and neither wants to be split up.
One live-in carer can support them both, helping him through the day and reading the post aloud for her. Ask us how a single plan can cover two people with different needs.

Why Exeter Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
Exeter is a city with a very long memory, and live-in care lets your relative keep living in it, in the home they love.
Northernhay Gardens were laid out in 1612, and the ship canal beside the quay was first dug in 1566, with a new basin added in 1830. Princesshay was built between 2005 and 2007, and Exeter was named a UNESCO City of Literature in 2019. Staying close to a place with so many layers is something many older people hold dear.
At home, your relative wakes in their own bed, reaches for their usual cup and follows their own clock. A carer who moves in learns those small habits, so one person helps at breakfast and again at bedtime, and a couple can stay together with one carer looking after both of them.
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford) is on Barrack Road. When a hospital stay ends, familiar surroundings can help recovery feel less daunting, and a carer waiting in the house can be there to welcome your relative back.
Ring us on 0208 129 5854 whenever you are ready to talk. Ask what you like, and there is no obligation.
Live-In Care in Exeter Costs £190 a Day, and We Say So Plainly
Nobody should have to hunt for a price, so here it is.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Exeter is from £190 per day, covering the live-in package but not break cover.
After the free assessment you receive the exact figure in writing, before anything is agreed.
What You Pay For Each Day
Picture a week in Exeter. On Monday the carer cooks, and on Tuesday they go with your relative to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. Midweek brings a visit to the quay, and at the weekend the cathedral. All of it sits within the daily rate: the carer's stay in the spare room, the personal care and the company. The rate excludes cover for the carer's daily break of about two hours, which a visiting carer provides at £28 per hour or family can cover directly, and your final quote depends on your situation.
If your needs go beyond the everyday, we can plan for dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation.
Paying for Care at Home in Exeter
Devon County Council carries out care needs assessments for adults, and NHS Continuing Healthcare may apply when the main need is a health one.
Age UK Exeter offers information and advice for older people, and keeps a dementia map of local services across Eastern Devon.
Council support starts with a needs assessment, and the council's website explains how care is paid for.
Whether your family qualifies for funding depends on your situation, so please talk to us first. We deal with this every day and will help you work out the right route. A carer can often start while the paperwork is still being completed.
Not sure where the money will come from?

Phoning us is the hardest part, and after that the arrangements follow in four simple stages.
01
Ring us
Ring us on 0208 129 5854, any day of the week.
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, listens carefully and answers your questions.
He then arranges a free assessment with your relative, at home, asking what a good day looks like.
No pressure and no decision on the day.
03
We shape the plan
We note your relative's routines, favourite foods and the places they love, whether that is a bench in Northernhay Gardens or a seat on the quay.
We write the care plan with your family and share it for your comments, then we start looking for the right carer, choosing someone whose experience fits your relative's needs.
We pick the carer
We match skills to health needs and personality to character, so the household settles without fuss.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee then gives you the first fortnight to judge the match.
02
04
Your carer arrives
The carer moves in, usually within a day or two of the assessment.
If your relative is leaving the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford), we plan from the discharge date and aim to be in place within 24 to 48 hours.
We stay in touch after the move.
Once we have spoken, a carer can often be in your relative's Exeter home within a day or two. If the ward has mentioned a discharge date, give it to us and we will work backwards from that day.
Our Registered Care Manager carries out the free assessment and stays in contact after the carer has moved in. Whoever answers your call arranges live-in care every single day. We arrange respite care in Exeter and 24 hour care in Exeter from the same assessment.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Live-In Care in Exeter: Questions Families Ask
How much does live-in care in Exeter cost?
From £190 per day, or £1,330 for a seven-day week. The rate covers the live-in package but not break cover, and we confirm the exact figure in writing after the free assessment.
How quickly can live-in care start in Exeter?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours of the assessment, including when the request comes from the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford). One phone call starts the process.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. A live-in carer gives one-to-one support at home, where familiar surroundings and a consistent face can make each day calmer for someone living with dementia.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
It depends on the person. Live-in care lets your loved one stay in their own home, keep their routine and have one-to-one attention, and couples can stay together. Our care manager can talk through both options with you.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
We arrange a cover carer so your loved one is never left without support.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. You can view our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Exeter do you cover?
Yes, all of Exeter, including the city centre, St Thomas, Exwick, Alphington, Pinhoe and Whipton, as well as Topsham, Newcourt, Marsh Barton and Cranbrook.
Do you offer respite care in Exeter?
Yes. NeeryVille also provides respite care for families who need a break from caring, so your loved one stays at home with a live-in carer they get to know.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. When your relative leaves Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford), we plan hospital discharge care at home from the discharge date, with a carer in the house, usually within 24 to 48 hours of our assessment.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
If the care arrangement is not right for any reason within the first 14 days, you can end it immediately with no notice period and no fees.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by bank transfer or Direct Debit only. You may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare or a needs assessment from Devon County Council, but please talk to us first about whether you qualify for funding. We deal with this every day and will help you work out the right route.
Can a carer take my mother to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum?
Yes. The museum is on Queen Street and is open Tuesday to Sunday, and it offers a BSL welcome video and blue badge parking spaces at its Garden Entrance.
Can my father still visit Northernhay Gardens with a carer?
Yes. Northernhay Gardens were laid out in 1612 and have a bandstand and views across the city, so a carer can plan a gentle route with a stop for a rest on a bench.
Is 24 hour care at home in Topsham the same as live-in care?
Usually, yes. A live-in carer stays through the day and night and takes a daily break of about two hours, which a visiting carer can cover at £28 per hour, so 24 hour care at home in Topsham is arranged this way.
