Live-In Care in Newton Abbot
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Newton Abbot and across Teignbridge, taking in Highweek, Kingsteignton, Wolborough and Bovey Tracey. Each live-in carer is trained and DBS-checked and moves into your relative’s home to be present through the day and the night, so a stroll through the town or a bench by the Teign remains possible. The same person stays throughout, and picking up the phone to ask us questions places you under no obligation.
If your relative is on the ward at Newton Abbot Community Hospital on Jetty Marsh Road, where the NHS lists geriatric medicine for cognitive disorders and movement disorders and orthopaedic care for hip and knee replacement, speak to us as soon as a return home is mentioned. Devon County Council takes referrals for social care assessments through its Care Direct Plus teams. We will keep in step with the ward and prepare a carer and a warm, ready house.
Getting home is only the first part, and the weeks that follow need planning as well. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will go through it together, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Newton Abbot: A Market Town on the Teign, Beneath the Dartmoor Edge
Imagine an eighty-three year old who has gone to the races at Newton Abbot Racecourse every summer since she was a girl, but has not been this year because the walk from the car park feels too far. One bright Saturday her live-in carer takes her over to the course on the north bank of the Teign and finds her a comfortable place to sit. She picks her horse by its name, wins nothing, and tells the carer about the 1969 grandstand opening. By the evening she is ringing her niece in Exeter, thoroughly pleased with her day.
If you would like days like that for your own mother or father, telephone us and we will visit to talk it over.
Outings like that depend on an everyday rhythm at home, so here is what a live-in carer does from morning tea through to the final medication at night.
A Slow, Warm Morning
Rising, washing and dressing take as long as they need. Breakfast comes just as your relative likes it, and the carer sits with a cup of tea beside them.
Out by the Water
Decoy Country Park was once part of the grounds of Forde House, and the River Teign runs close to the town. Given a dry afternoon, the carer brings a blanket and a flask and lets your relative say how far to go.
Tablets and Check-ups
Every dose is handed over at the right time and noted down. When there is an appointment, the carer goes in too, hears what the clinician says and passes it to the family that evening.
Cooking Their Way
Dietary advice is followed, and so are old habits. Where your relative enjoys picking things out, the carer shops with them and cooks the result, in a town whose first market charter dates back to 1220.
Books and Company
The public library opened in 1904, designed by Silvanus Trevail with £2,500 from Passmore Edwards, and after renovation it became the Passmore Edwards Centre. A morning among the shelves and a seat close at hand is an easy outing.
Safe Around the House
Steps, landings and bathrooms are where accidents tend to happen. The carer stays near on stairs, clears clutter from the floor and warns the family at once if the house is getting harder to live in.

Why Newton Abbot Families Pick NeeryVille Care
Anyone looking for live-in care in Newton Abbot meets a directory of agencies, a provider listing and a national home care chain. We found none that named the county council or the community hospital, none that put a daily price on the page, and the directory only offered ranges of weekly starting prices. Ours names Devon County Council and Newton Abbot Community Hospital, gives the daily rate in full and places one employed carer in the house. Here is why Newton Abbot families pick us.
Same face every day
It matters more than most people predict to have the same person arrive in the kitchen each morning. They learn how the tea is made, which programme comes on at six and where the walking stick lives.
Our same-carer approach rests on that, and it makes the largest difference where memory is fading, because a familiar face keeps a bad day from tipping over.
Free to stop in the first 14 days
Should it turn out not to suit, within the first 14 days you can end the arrangement immediately, with no notice to serve and nothing to pay.
That promise is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Newton Abbot family can begin knowing there is a way out.
Employed by NeeryVille
NeeryVille Care is a provider regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and the carers who live with your relative are our own employees, trained and supervised by us, not freelancers placed by an agency. Our registration on the CQC website is open for anybody to read.
Clinically governed
Care is delivered within a clinical governance framework led by experienced clinicians, so support for dementia, Parkinson’s or the weeks after a stroke follows the same careful pattern every week.
Arriving in a day or so
A bed at Newton Abbot Community Hospital can be needed again quickly, so discharge plans sometimes move faster than a family expects. After our assessment a carer is typically unpacking at your relative’s home within 24 to 48 hours, ready for the first night as well as the first morning. If you tell us when the ward first raises discharge, the house can be ready.
A named Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has been in care for twelve years, with specialist dementia training, and he personally oversees every placement. A telephone call reaches him or one of his colleagues.

Signs It May Be Time for a Live-In Carer in Newton Abbot
There is seldom one moment. A live-in carer is worth thinking about when your relative needs reassurance after dark as well as support by day, and yet is determined to stay in the house they know.
Say a man of ninety has slipped getting out of the bath and been told by Newton Abbot Community Hospital that he is fit to go home with a sore hip. His daughter drives up from Torbay each week, but the other six days he is alone with the stairs. A carer in the house helps him in and out of the bath, notices the bruise, cooks properly and sends the daughter a message each evening. Telephone us before the next slip, not after it.
When we meet him we ask what a good ordinary day looks like, and that becomes the plan.
If you are the daughter or son making that weekly drive and running short of energy, live-in respite care in Newton Abbot lets you step back for a while with the same trusted carer in the house.
Conditions Our Carers Support Around Newton Abbot
Our live-in carers in Newton Abbot support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in Newton Abbot, Kingsteignton, Highweek and across Teignbridge.
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.
Husband and Wife Together: Couples at Home in Newton Abbot
Think of a couple in their eighties who spent years of Saturdays on the Teign and now manage the stairs one step at a time. He has Parkinson’s disease and she is his main support, steadying him on the bathroom floor at three in the morning, and the tiredness shows in both of them.
One live-in carer can look after the two of them, giving her a proper night’s sleep and him a steady arm, in the house they chose. Ring us and we will show you how a single plan works for two people.

Why Newton Abbot Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has lived in Newton Abbot long enough to remember clay barges loading at Hackney Quay on the Teign, live-in care lets the help move in while their routine stays put.
A market charter in 1220, Forde House in 1610, the railway in 1846 and the Passmore Edwards library in 1904 all belong to the town they know. Living among that history is part of who they are.
At home your relative keeps the same bed, the same armchair and the same view from the window. One carer moves in and learns their habits, there at breakfast and again at bedtime, and a married couple can stay together with that carer helping both.
When your relative returns from Newton Abbot Community Hospital, the same carer is waiting to help with the steps, the shopping and the tablets, and the family hears how the first week went without having to chase for news.
If you would like to talk it over, ring 0208 129 5854 and ask us anything, with no obligation.
Live-In Care in Newton Abbot: The Daily Rate Up Front, £190
Cost is the first question most people ask, so it is answered here.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Newton Abbot starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Our free assessment ends with that price confirmed on paper, and you are asked to commit to nothing beforehand.
Inside the Daily Rate
A week in Newton Abbot might take in a morning in the town, a Saturday at the racecourse and a quiet hour at Decoy Country Park. The daily rate pays for a carer who sleeps in your relative’s home and is on duty day and night, helping with getting up and dressed, meals cooked from scratch, medication given on time and recorded, steady movement around the house and company at clinic visits.
Some situations ask for more, among them dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, and these are quoted individually once we have met. Explain the circumstances and we will tell you what we would recommend.
Ways to Pay for Care at Home in Newton Abbot
Money questions are easier with someone alongside, so ring us on 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through. Ask us also whether NHS Continuing Healthcare could apply, since it is awarded where someone’s main need is a health need.
Devon County Council assesses social care needs through its Care Direct Plus teams, so a request for assessment goes to 0345 155 1007, open Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm and Friday 9am to 4pm, where you will be asked for your area. Its Client Financial Services team handles questions on paying for care on 01392 384391.
Age UK Devon, on 0333 241 2340, runs local groups, among them walking football on Tuesday mornings at the Devon FA headquarters in Newton Abbot. For memory concerns, the Newton Abbot Memory Cafe meets at the Methodist Church on The Avenue and welcomes people affected by memory changes or dementia, and those closest to them, including people without a formal diagnosis.
Care can begin before any form is finalised, so your relative does not have to wait.

We learn their story
We ask what Newton Abbot has meant to your relative. For some it is the clay trade on the Teign, a first job beside the railway, a family stall on market day or Saturdays at the racecourse.
Whatever you share goes into the plan, so the carer can bring it up at the right time. Ring when it suits you.
We choose with care
Experience, health needs and temperament are weighed together, so that the carer and the household suit each other.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee leaves the first fortnight open for you to judge for yourself.

Live-In Care in Newton Abbot: Your Questions on Dementia, Respite and Coming Home from Hospital
How much does live-in care in Newton Abbot cost?
Live-in care in Newton Abbot costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, with no surcharges later. Once the free assessment is finished you receive the same figure in writing.
How quickly can live-in care start in Newton Abbot?
Usually one or two days after the assessment, including when a request comes from the ward at Newton Abbot Community Hospital. A single telephone call books the assessment.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. Remaining in familiar rooms with one regular carer helps someone with dementia keep a calm, predictable day. The Newton Abbot Memory Cafe, at the Methodist Church on The Avenue, welcomes people affected by memory changes and those closest to them.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
The right answer depends on your family’s priorities. Living at home keeps a person’s own bed, routines and a single regular carer, and a couple are not separated. We go through how that would work in practice before you decide anything.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
When the usual carer cannot be there, a replacement carer is arranged, so the household is never left without someone.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. We are a provider registered with the Care Quality Commission, and you may read our entry on the CQC provider page.
Which areas of Newton Abbot do you cover?
All of the town and the area around it: the centre, Highweek, Wolborough, Kingsteignton and Bovey Tracey, across Teignbridge.
Do you offer respite care in Newton Abbot?
Yes, we offer respite care in Newton Abbot. If you look after a husband, wife or parent and need a rest, a live-in carer can take over at home for a long weekend, a month or more.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. Your relative can return from Newton Abbot Community Hospital to a home where the carer is already settled in and the routine is ready.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
Where care does not suit, it can be ended at any point in the first 14 days with immediate effect, no notice and no fee.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. NHS Continuing Healthcare may apply, Devon County Council can assess needs and arrange a financial assessment, and Age UK Devon can point you to local support.
Can a live-in carer take my father to the races at Newton Abbot Racecourse?
Yes. The course lies on the north bank of the Teign, just north of the town, and its main grandstand opened in 1969. A live-in carer can check the fixture list, drive him there, stay close through the afternoon and take him home when he is tired.
Where can my wife with memory problems meet others in Newton Abbot?
The Newton Abbot Memory Cafe meets at the Methodist Church, The Avenue, and is open to people with memory changes, with or without a diagnosis, and those closest to them. The Alzheimer’s Society listing says to contact the provider for times, and her carer can go along.
Is there something sociable for my uncle who used to play football?
Age UK Devon runs walking football every Tuesday from 10.30am to 12 noon at the Devon FA headquarters in Newton Abbot, with the first session free. A live-in carer can check it suits his mobility, take him and cheer from the side.
