Live-In Care in Plymouth
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Plymouth, including dementia care and respite care at home. A trained, DBS-checked carer moves into your relative’s house and stays through the day and the night, so the evening routine, the television programme and the walk to the corner shop go on. The same carer remains with the household, and a first call to us commits you to nothing.
Derriford Hospital opened officially on 9 June 1981 and is a major trauma centre, and it is also the regional centre for adult cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery for Devon and Cornwall, so your relative may be on a ward a long way from home. If discharge is being discussed, tell us at once. We will contact the ward and make sure a carer, a warm house and a plan for the first night are ready.
Plymouth is hilly and the old port streets are cobbled, which makes getting about a worry for anyone unsteady. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Plymouth: The Hoe, Barbican Cobbles and the Sound
Think of a clear morning and your relative saying they would like to sit on the Hoe and look at the Sound. Smeaton’s Tower stands there, built in 1759 on the Eddystone Rocks and later rebuilt on the Hoe, and Drake’s Island sits out on the water. The carer drives or walks beside them, finds a bench, and lets them watch the ships for as long as they care to.
If a morning like that would mean something to your relative, ring us and we can book a free assessment.
An outing is only possible when the ordinary day is in good order, so here is what a live-in carer does for your relative from waking up to settling down.
Mornings on Their Terms
Your relative gets up when they feel like it. The carer helps with washing and dressing, brings breakfast the way they take it, and is in no hurry about anything.
Afternoons Out and About
The Hoe holds the Armada Memorial, opened in 1888, and the Royal Naval war memorial, unveiled in 1924 with its sunken garden added in 1954. For many families these are places with personal meaning, and the carer can plan a gentle visit on a dry day.
Medicines and Appointments
Every dose is given on time and written down. The carer goes with your relative to clinics at Derriford Hospital, sits in on the consultation if asked, and passes everything on to the family.
Cooking What They Love
Meals are planned around health and taste, and the carer can cook the dish your relative has made for fifty years. Plymouth Gin has been distilled in the city since 1793, and a family toast on a birthday is a fine tradition to keep up.
Sea Air and Slow Walks
Tinside Pool, a 1930s lido at the foot of the Hoe, was restored to its original look for £3.4 million. Check what is open, then the carer can pick a calm day for a stroll along the front with an arm to lean on.
Steps, Slopes and Stairs
Plymouth is hilly, and many houses have steps at the door or steep stairs inside. The carer is beside your relative on every one of them, keeps hallways clear and speaks up early if a rail or a ramp is needed.

What Plymouth Families Notice When They Compare NeeryVille
Look up live-in care in Plymouth and the pages that rank are quick to quote a price but slow to say much about the city. One lists a weekly rate and a branch on Mutley Plain, one gives a typical weekly rate, and only one names Derriford Hospital or Plymouth City Council, without a phone number. Ours gives a daily price, names Derriford and the council’s assessment line, and keeps one employed carer in the house. These are the points Plymouth families raise with us.
Always the same carer
A familiar face by the bed at night is worth more than most things. The carer learns where the glasses live, which radio station is on and how the day usually ends, so your relative does not have to start again each morning.
Our same-carer approach is designed around that, and for someone with dementia the repetition is a real comfort.
Two weeks to decide
If the arrangement does not work for you at any moment during the first 14 days, you can stop it on the spot, with no notice and no fee.
This is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Plymouth family can try live-in care without risk.
Our own employees
NeeryVille Care is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and every carer is our own trained, supervised employee rather than a freelancer. Anyone can check our registration on the CQC website.
Overseen by clinicians
Each placement operates inside a clinical governance framework led by experienced clinicians, so support for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or recovery from a stroke stays dependable from week to week.
A carer in a day or two
A call from the wards at Derriford Hospital can come with little notice. We can usually place a suitable carer in the house within 24 to 48 hours, so 24 hour care in Plymouth need not wait for the paperwork. Ring as soon as discharge is mentioned and we will plan the first evening with you.
A manager who picks up
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia expertise, and oversees every placement himself. When you call, you speak to him or someone from the care team.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?

Dementia Care or Respite: When Does a Plymouth Family Need a Live-In Carer?
The decision seldom arrives on a convenient day. A live-in carer deserves a serious look when your relative needs company and reassurance through the night as well as the day, but wants to stay in their own home.
Picture a widow of eighty-three who used to walk down to the Barbican every week. Since a fall on the hills she has stopped going out, eaten less and begun to lose her confidence, and a worrying chest infection takes her to Derriford Hospital. A carer in the house builds the walks back slowly and notices what she is eating. Telephone us before the next fall.
At the assessment we ask where your relative likes to go and what a good day means to them.
If you are the person doing the caring and you are worn out, live-in respite care in Plymouth lets you rest properly while the same carer looks after things.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Plymouth
Our live-in carers in Plymouth support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, across Plymouth, including Devonport, Stoke, Peverell, Efford, Plympton and Plymstock.
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.
Together in the Same House: Couples in Plymouth
Consider a couple in their eighties. He is nearly deaf and she can barely see to read, so each acts as the other’s missing sense, and neither wants to be separated by a move into care.
One live-in carer can look after them both: a voice to repeat what he missed, and eyes for the letters and the tablets she cannot read. Ask us how a single plan can work for two.

Why Plymouth Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has lived in Plymouth for decades, live-in care allows them to keep their front door and the view they know.
The city sent the fleet against the Armada in 1588 and the Pilgrims across the Atlantic in 1620, and it was rebuilt after the Blitz around Armada Way under the Plan for Plymouth.
At home they have their own bed, their own cupboards and their own clock. One carer lives in, learns the small habits and is the same person at bedtime and at breakfast, and a couple can stay together with one carer looking after both.
Hills, steps and cobbles make daily life harder for many older people here, and after a stay at Derriford Hospital the carer is waiting at home to help with the stairs and the shopping.
If you would like to think it through with someone, ring 0208 129 5854. You are welcome to ask anything, with no obligation.
Live-In Care in Plymouth: A Plain Price of £190 a Day
Prices on this kind of page are often hard to find. This one is not.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Plymouth starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
After we meet your relative you receive the exact figure in writing, before anything is agreed.
What the Daily Rate Buys
Imagine a Plymouth week: a slow turn round the Hoe on Tuesday, a clinic appointment at Derriford on Thursday, a ring from a neighbour in Plymstock, a quiet Sunday lunch. The daily price covers a carer who lives with your relative, with personal care, home cooked meals, medication given and recorded, safe movement around the house and company on every trip out.
If your relative needs more, such as dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, we prepare a quote once we have met them.
Paying for Care at Home in Plymouth
You can ask Plymouth City Council for a social care needs assessment through an online form, and the council’s page gives 01752 668000 for anyone unsure how to fill it in. It is open to people who live in Plymouth. If the main need is a health need, ask whether NHS Continuing Healthcare applies.
Plymouth City Council also has a separate page on paying for adult social care, and GOV.UK matches a Plymouth postcode to the council. You do not need to wait for the outcome before a carer starts.
Age UK Plymouth, at Astor Drive in Mount Gould, runs information and advice drop-ins, including one at the Four Greens Wellbeing Hub, where staff have helped people claim Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit. For memory concerns, the Dementia Pathway in Plymouth links Memory Matters, on 01752 243333, with Age UK Plymouth.
A carer can start while the paperwork is still moving.

Four Steps to Live-In Care in Plymouth
Families often say that making the first call was the hard part. After that there are four steps.
01
Phone us
Nothing has to be ready before you ring.
Call 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or a member of the care team will answer.
Tell us what is happening at home and we will think it through with you, with no forms to fill in and no pressure to decide.
Putting live-in care in place is what this team does every day.
03
We hear about their life
Plymouth has long been a city of the sea, with HMNB Devonport still the base where the Royal Navy refits its submarines. Ask your relative about a ship, a yard or a harbour memory, and we will record it in the care plan.
The carer can bring it up at a quiet moment, and it often starts a good conversation. Telephone us when you are ready.
We choose the right carer
We match the carer’s skills to your relative’s health needs and their personality, so the house settles quickly.
In the first fortnight the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee lets you see for yourself whether it is working.
02
04
The carer moves in
Many placements begin within a day or two of the assessment, and sooner if a discharge is near.
If your relative is leaving Derriford Hospital, we plan the carer’s arrival around the day they come home.
From first call to settled placement, you deal with one person.
Once we have spoken, a carer can often be at your relative’s door within a day or two. If a discharge date is set, give it to us and we plan back from it.
Our Registered Care Manager comes to carry out the free assessment and keeps in touch once the carer has moved in. The people who answer your call set up live-in placements every day.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Plymouth Live-In Care, Dementia Care and Respite Care: Questions Answered
How much does live-in care in Plymouth cost?
Live-in care in Plymouth costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, with nothing added later. You receive the exact figure in writing after the free assessment.
How quickly can live-in care start in Plymouth?
Often within a day or two of the assessment, even when the request comes from a ward at Derriford Hospital. One phone call starts it.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes, and dementia care at home is a big part of what we do. One carer in familiar rooms offers the same face every day. The Dementia Pathway in Plymouth links Memory Matters, on 01752 243333, with Age UK Plymouth.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That depends on your relative. At home they keep their own bed, their own street and one carer who knows them, and a couple do not have to be separated.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
A cover carer steps in, so the house is never left without someone.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the CQC, and its CQC provider page is open to anyone.
Which areas of Plymouth do you cover?
The whole city, including the Barbican, Stoke, Devonport, Peverell, Efford, Plympton and Plymstock.
Do you offer respite care in Plymouth?
Yes, we offer respite care in Plymouth. If you look after a parent or partner and need a proper rest, a live-in carer can take over at home for as long as you need.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. We can have a carer waiting at home when your relative leaves Derriford Hospital, with the heating on and the routine ready.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
During the first 14 days you can end the care straight away if it is not right, with no notice and no fee.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. Ask Plymouth City Council for a needs assessment, check whether NHS Continuing Healthcare applies, and speak to Age UK Plymouth about benefits you may be missing.
Can a carer take my father to the Royal Naval war memorial on the Hoe?
Yes. The Royal Naval war memorial on the Hoe was unveiled in 1924 and its sunken garden was added in 1954. The carer can plan a calm, seated visit on a dry day and let your father decide how long to stay.
Are the Barbican’s cobbles too difficult for my mother?
They can be. The Barbican has about 100 listed buildings and Britain’s largest concentration of cobbled streets, so uneven ground is part of the visit. At the assessment we judge whether a short walk, a chair or a different route suits her.
Is there somewhere my husband with dementia can spend a day?
Age UK Plymouth runs a Dementia Day Centre in Plymstock, and you do not need a formal diagnosis to use its dementia support. It can be a break for you both, and the live-in carer can help with the arrangements.
