Live-In Care in Falmouth
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Falmouth: a trained, DBS-checked carer moves in, cooks, gives medication on time and stays through the night, so your relative keeps the same view, the same neighbours and the same cup of tea in the same chair. Talking to us costs nothing and commits you to nothing, and it will soon be clear whether this is the right answer for the person you are thinking about.
Coming home after treatment at Falmouth Hospital on Trescobeas Road tends to be arranged with very little warning, and the house then needs warmth, food and somebody competent inside it. Give us the day you have been told and we will work back from it so the carer is waiting.
Falmouth Hospital's urgent care centre closes at 8pm, so the long evening is when many families feel most alone. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Falmouth: Packet Ships, Pendennis and a Harbour Full of Boats
Picture an eighty-four year old retired harbour pilot who has not been near the water since his hip gave way. His carer suggests a morning at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, which opened in February 2003 beside the harbour and has a Look-out gallery over the water and a Tidal Zone with underwater views. Before long he is correcting the labels on the small boats, because he knew a few of them, and he tells the carer about the tide at Carrick Roads in the same breath. That evening his son hears about it down the telephone and, for the first time in months, the conversation lasts.
If someone in your family has stopped going out because the effort seems too great, tell us what they used to love. A carer can build the first week around it, and a call to us is the way to begin.
An outing like that depends on an ordinary day running smoothly at home, so here is what a live-in carer does for your relative between the morning kettle and the last medicine of the night.
A Gentle Start to the Day
Washing, dressing and breakfast follow your relative's own pace, with the radio on if they like it. The carer is already in the house, so nobody has to watch the clock for a visit.
Gardens and Seafront
Gyllyngdune Gardens sit beside the Princess Pavilion, built in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and the Pavilion's Garden Cafe is a natural place to sit. Kimberley Park, close to the town centre, offers a quieter loop, and the carer picks whichever suits the weather and your relative's stamina.
Medicines and Appointments
Each dose is given at the right time and written down. For an appointment at Falmouth Hospital or the family doctor, the carer goes too, hears what is said and passes it on to you.
Real Cooking
Pasties, a proper roast, a bowl of soup on a damp afternoon: the carer prepares what your relative really enjoys, allowing for any advice from their doctor, using shopping bought along Falmouth's high street, which won the coastal category of Great British High Street in 2016.
Company and Conversation
The Poly, on Church Street, has run a cinema since it was first licensed in 1911, so there is always a film to see. At other times a sketchbook or a box of old photographs does just as well, and the carer is happy to hear the stories attached.
Settled Nights
Last thing at night the carer checks the doors, leaves a lamp on in the hall and keeps the floor clear of anything a slipper could catch on. If your relative wakes frightened in the small hours, there is a familiar voice close by.

Why Falmouth Families Choose NeeryVille Care
We searched for live in care in Falmouth just as a worried son or daughter would, then read the pages that came up. A national live-in provider describes Falmouth only as a service area and gives neither a price nor a hospital. Another national firm's Falmouth page has a long list of tasks and a link to a cost calculator, but no figure and no council. A third page has a proper FAQ and a weekly price, but says its care is coordinated from a branch in Truro and names no hospital or council either. Here you will find the hospital, the council, dementia support and a daily price in one place, and the carer works directly for NeeryVille Care. Here is why Falmouth families choose us.
One Carer, Day After Day
After a fortnight the carer knows how your relative likes the curtains, which cup is theirs and what to hum when the evening gets restless. Being looked after by a stranger turns into being looked after by someone known.
Our same-carer approach rests on that closeness, and it matters most when memory loss has begun to scramble faces and names.
Fourteen Days to Be Sure
Should it not feel right, you may stop at any time during the first 14 days, giving no notice and paying no fee.
That is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, which lets a family in Falmouth try live-in care without a long commitment hanging over them.
Employed by Us
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and each carer is hired, trained and overseen by us instead of being passed along through an agency chain. The details are public, and you can look up our registration on the CQC website.
Clinical Oversight
Placements run within a clinical governance framework developed with experienced clinicians, so the standard of care stays steady for people with dementia, Parkinson’s disease or those recovering after a stroke.
In the House Within Two Days
Discharge days can be fixed at short notice. When your relative is leaving Falmouth Hospital, we move quickly, and in most cases a suitable carer is in the home within 24 to 48 hours, so 24 hour care in Falmouth is already running when they walk through the door. Tell us the date and we will plan backwards from it.
Managed by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia knowledge, and he is personally accountable for each placement. When you call, you will reach him or a colleague who knows the details.
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 Falmouth: When the Harbour Town Goes Quiet
It is rarely a single moment. Letters stack up unopened, a pan is found burned dry, and the Sunday joint that used to be cooked by habit is not cooked at all.
Take a woman of eighty-one who lives in a house she and her husband bought when the children were small. He handled the paperwork and the garden for decades, and since he died she has been eating toast at four in the afternoon and skipping dinner altogether. Her daughter notices a bruise from a fall in the kitchen, and the visit to Falmouth Hospital ends with a doctor saying that things cannot go on like this. A live-in carer then arrives, shops, cooks proper meals, reminds her about her tablets and sits with her in the evenings, and the house stops feeling so empty. If that sounds like someone you love, call us before the next fall.
Within weeks the carer knows who is in every photograph, and the long afternoons begin to fill.
Or perhaps the one running on empty is you, juggling work, children and a parent's care for months. Our respite care in Falmouth sends a live-in carer to your relative's own home for a weekend, a fortnight or more, and you can finally catch up on sleep. Name the dates and we do the arranging.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Falmouth
Our live-in carers in Falmouth support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, from the town centre and Pendennis to Swanpool and Maenporth (including postcode TR11).
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.
Sharing a Harbour View: Couples in Falmouth
Imagine a couple who spent their working lives around the docks and still like their armchairs turned to the window. He has a weak heart and tires on the stairs, while she has early dementia and sometimes cannot say where she has put her glasses. They look out for one another, and the word care home upsets them both.
One live-in carer can help the two of them, giving him an arm on the stairs and keeping an eye on her through the day. Call us and we will explain how a single placement can look after a pair.

Why Falmouth Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has spent most of their life in sight of Falmouth harbour, live-in care lets that view stay part of their day.
The Killigrews founded the town in 1613, Charles II sealed its charter on 5 October 1661, and the Packet Service sailed from here until 1851. Someone who has grown up among that history may find it very hard to picture a bed anywhere else.
Staying at home means their own mattress, their own cupboards and a day that follows their own rhythm. A single carer lives in and learns the small habits, so the face at bedtime is the face at breakfast, and a married couple can remain together with one carer looking after both.
Getting about means beaches, stations and ferries, and Falmouth Hospital on Trescobeas Road offers urgent care between 8am and 8pm. A live-in carer helps with the shopping, the outings and the steps, and after a hospital visit the same carer can be at the door.
To talk about what might suit your family, call us on 0208 129 5854. Ask anything you like, with no obligation.
Falmouth Live-In Care Price: £190 a Day, Agreed in Writing
Cost is usually the first thing families need to know, so we will start there.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Falmouth starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Once the free assessment is complete you receive the exact figure on paper, and nothing begins until you have read it.
What the Daily Rate Covers
A good week in Falmouth could include a Tuesday film at the Poly, a Thursday visit to Falmouth Art Gallery, a walk on Friday through Kimberley Park and an afternoon spent over the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, which owns more than 200 works by Henry Scott Tuke. Each day's payment secures a carer who sleeps under the same roof and can be woken if needed, plus a hand with washing and dressing, cooked meals, tablets handed over and logged, an arm to lean on indoors, a companion for appointments and a basket filled at the shops.
Certain situations, among them dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, call for a longer talk before we fix a figure. Explain what is unusual and we will work it through with you.
Paying for Care at Home in Falmouth
NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package arranged and funded by the NHS for people whose main needs are health needs, and learning how it works comes before any other funding question.
Cornwall Council’s adult social care page explains how to ask for help online and says staff can work with you to understand your needs. It is there for information, and nobody has to begin with it.
Age UK Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, on 01872 266 383, lists Falmouth as one of its three community hubs, and Dementia Support Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, on 01872 277963 from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, offers information and signposting to people with a diagnosis, those worried about their memory and their families.
Funding enquiries can run at the same time as the placement itself, which means a carer need not hold off until some decision comes through the post.
Not sure where to start?

Four Steps to a Carer in Falmouth
Picking up the phone is the difficult bit, and after that the route is short.
01
Make the call
There is nothing to get ready.
Dial 0208 129 5854 and either Daniel Johnson or one of his team will answer.
Tell us how the last few months have gone and we will explain what is possible, without paperwork or any push.
Families call us in all sorts of circumstances, and very little surprises us.
03
We listen to their story
We ask what Falmouth has meant to your relative. It might be summers at Gyllyngvase, one of the five main beaches, or the day in August 1999 when a total solar eclipse lasted just over two minutes over the town, the longest in the UK. It might even be the time the Tall Ships came into the harbour. One shared memory can fill an afternoon.
Everything you tell us is written into the care plan, which means the carer turns up with questions worth asking. Call when it suits you.
We choose the right person
Nobody is suggested until we have compared skills, your relative's health and the kind of personality they would enjoy, because sharing a home works best between people who get on.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee then gives you two weeks to be sure.
02
04
Your carer moves in
A carer is commonly in place a day or two after our first conversation, and sooner if a discharge date has been fixed.
If the journey home starts at Falmouth Hospital or elsewhere, we time the carer's arrival so they are in the house first.
One contact at NeeryVille stays with you from the first call until everything has settled.
Call now and a new carer might be unpacking by the weekend. Should a ward have named a day for leaving, say so and we will fit everything around it.
The free assessment is done in person by our Registered Care Manager, who also calls back to ask how the first days are going. We do live-in care and nothing else, which means nobody hands you on to a stranger.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Falmouth Families Ask About Live-In Care
How much does live-in care in Falmouth cost?
In Falmouth the price is £190 per day, fully inclusive, and nothing is added afterwards. You see the exact amount on paper after the free assessment, ahead of any decision.
How quickly can live-in care start in Falmouth?
Normally a carer can be with you within a couple of days of the first call, even when you are phoning from beside a hospital bed. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we begin straight away.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. A familiar carer in familiar rooms often suits someone with dementia better than a rota of strangers. Dementia Support Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, on 01872 277963, offers information and signposting, and a memory assessment can be requested through the GP.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That is for each family to weigh. At home a person keeps their own bed, their own view and their own habits, and a couple stay together. We set out both sides honestly so you can decide.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
Should the usual carer fall ill or take leave, we send cover, and your relative is not left on their own.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. The Care Quality Commission registers NeeryVille Care Ltd, and you can look us up on our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Falmouth do you cover?
We cover all of Falmouth: the town centre, Pendennis, Gyllyngvase, Swanpool and Maenporth, including postcode TR11.
Do you offer respite care in Falmouth?
Yes. Anyone exhausted by caring for a husband, wife or parent can have a live-in carer step in at that person's home for several days or several weeks, and our respite care in Falmouth covers that.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. When the journey home begins at Falmouth Hospital or another ward, we can have the carer inside first, with warmth, a meal and a clear plan for that first night.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
Across the first 14 days you are free to stop the arrangement at any moment, without notice or charge.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
You pay by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. A number of people qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, or for help after Cornwall Council has assessed their needs, and Age UK Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly can advise on entitlements you may have missed.
Can a live-in carer take my mother to see a film at the Poly in Falmouth?
The Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, known as the Poly, is at 24 Church Street, and its cinema was first licensed in 1911 before a digital system was installed in 2015. Her carer can look up the programme, go with her and bring her home again afterwards.
Is there somewhere calm to sit by the sea near the town centre?
Gyllyngdune Gardens lie beside the Princess Pavilion, which has a Garden Cafe, and Falmouth has five main beaches from Castle to Maenporth. A live-in carer can choose the gentlest spot for the weather and sit with your relative as long as they wish.
Who can I ask in Falmouth about support for an older person with memory loss?
Age UK Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, on 01872 266 383, runs a community hub in Falmouth, and Dementia Support Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, on 01872 277963, answers Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. A live-in carer can stay with your relative while you make the calls.
