Live-In Care in Torquay
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Torquay and the neighbouring districts of Torbay, among them Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Chelston and Cockington. Each DBS-checked carer moves into the home and stays with your relative through the day and the night, so a slow circuit of Princess Gardens or an hour with a pot of tea at Torre Abbey is still on the cards. One carer who knows the household beats a stream of strangers, and a first conversation with us commits you to nothing.
If your relative is on a ward at Torbay Hospital, off Newton Road at Lowes Bridge, which was founded in 1844 and joined the NHS in 1948, mention the stay to us as soon as a discharge is on the table. We speak to the ward staff, then have a carer in the house, the heating on and the first evening planned before the ambulance pulls up.
A hospital discharge can leave a family with a few days to work out the weeks ahead, and the stairs at home do not get any shorter. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we will go through the options together, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Torquay: Abbey Gardens, Palm Trees and Harbour Lights
Picture a woman of eighty-four who was six years old in 1948, when the Olympic flame was kept in the grounds of Torre Abbey while the water sports were held in the bay. On a mild Wednesday her carer walks her through the gardens, and they stop at the Spanish Barn where the Armada prisoners were held. Over a scone she tells how she watched the boats from the harbour wall with her father. That evening she repeats the story to her daughter on the phone, and for once the daughter hears every detail.
If a day like that is what you want for someone you love, ring us and we will set up a free assessment at the house.
Such afternoons only work because the ordinary hours around them are looked after, so here is what a live-in carer takes care of between the first cup of tea and the last tablet at bedtime.
Unhurried Mornings
Nobody rings a bell to say the visit is over. Your relative wakes when they wake, washes and dresses at their own speed with a steady arm nearby, and eats the kind of breakfast they have always eaten.
Fresh Air by the Sea
Princess Gardens sit beside the harbour, and Meadfoot Beach is a short outing along the coast. On a calm day the carer packs a blanket and a flask, picks a bench with a view and heads home the moment your relative has had enough.
Medicines and Hospital Visits
Tablets are given at the right hour and ticked off in a record. If there is an outpatient appointment at Torbay Hospital, the carer goes in with your relative, takes in what the clinician says and passes it on to the family afterwards.
Cooking to Taste
Meals follow any advice from the GP or dietitian as well as decades of habit. Where your relative enjoys choosing, the carer can walk with them through Fleet Walk to shop, then cook the dinner they picked.
A Quiet Hour at the Museum
Torquay Museum was founded in 1844 and is the oldest in Devon. For some people a gentle visit sparks memories, and the carer sets the pace with plenty of seats along the way.
Steady on the Steps
Whether the home is a villa or a flat, steps and bathrooms are risky for unsteady feet. The carer is at your relative’s elbow for every transfer, clears trip hazards and tells the family early if the stairs have become too much.

Why Torquay Families Choose NeeryVille Care
Anyone searching for live-in care in Torquay lands on a national chain with a branch on Union Street, a care group’s regional page and a marketplace that links families to providers. None of the three pages we opened named Torbay Hospital or Torbay Council, none quoted a daily rate, and the one that showed a price asked £1,675 a week for one person. Ours names the hospital and the council, states the daily rate and places one employed carer in the home. Here is why Torquay families choose us.
A single carer in the house
Over a few weeks the carer learns where the biscuits live, how your relative likes the radio, and what a good day looks like. Those small things are what make a stranger feel like family.
Our same-carer approach rests on that idea, and it helps most with dementia, where one face that is recognised can calm a whole afternoon.
Change your mind in the first 14 days
If the arrangement is not working at any point in the first 14 days, you can stop it at once, owing no notice and no fee.
That promise is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Torquay family can try live-in care without fearing a long commitment.
Our own employees
NeeryVille Care is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and the carers who come to your relative’s home are employed, trained and supervised by us, not passed on as self-employed workers. Our registration on the CQC website is open for anybody to check before making a choice.
Clinical oversight
Everything we do sits within a clinical governance framework led by experienced clinicians, so support for dementia, Parkinson’s and recovery after a stroke follows the same careful pattern week after week.
Carer in place quickly
Torbay Hospital runs an accident and emergency department every day of the year, and a discharge can be agreed at short notice. After we have met, a matched carer can generally be in the house within 24 to 48 hours, ready for the first night as well as the first morning. Tell us about the discharge date as early as you can, because it gives us time to prepare the home.
Led by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care behind him, with specialist dementia expertise, and is accountable for every placement. When you ring, you speak to him or to a member of his team, not to a call centre.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?

When Is It Time for a Live-In Carer in Torquay?
It rarely arrives as a single event. More often a family notices a pattern: the fridge full of unopened food, a second near miss on the stairs, the phone left unanswered.
Take a widower of eighty-eight in a flat above the harbour, home from Torbay Hospital after a chest infection. His daughter lives a long way off, and since his wife died he has been eating toast for supper and keeping away from the lift in case it breaks down. A carer in the flat can put a proper meal in front of him, go to the shops with him and let his daughter know how he is. Phone us before the next lonely evening, not after it.
At the free assessment we ask him about his routines and his worries, and the plan is built from what he says.
When the daughter is worn out from long journeys and worry, live-in respite care in Torquay lets her sleep through the night while the same carer keeps her father company.
Conditions Our Carers Support Around Torquay
Our live-in carers in Torquay support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in TQ2 and across the Torquay side of Torbay.
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 at Home: Couples Supported in Torquay
Think of a couple who ran a seaside guest house for thirty years and still wake at six. She now has dementia, and he has a heart condition and a stiff back, so the sheets and the breakfast tables that once came easily have become a daily struggle. Neither of them wants to be parted from the other.
One live-in carer can look after both of them, helping her through the day and sparing him the heavy lifting, so that he can sit down and rest. Ask how a single arrangement can cover two people.

Why Torquay Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your mother or father has watched the harbour lights from the same window for decades, live-in care in Torquay means the help comes through the front door and the view stays exactly where it was.
Torre Abbey was founded in 1196, Torre station opened in 1848 and Torquay Museum, the oldest in Devon, in 1844. A lifetime near those landmarks gives people a sense of belonging that a move can quietly erase.
Staying in their own home keeps the bed they know, the cupboards they filled and a day that follows their own rhythm. A single carer moves in, picks up the habits and is the same person at the bedside at night and across the breakfast table, and a couple who would otherwise be separated can both be supported by that carer.
Villas and flats alike come with stairs, steps and a bathroom that was not designed for unsteady feet. The carer helps with each of them, does the shopping and the errands, and when your relative comes back from Torbay Hospital the same carer is there to welcome them in.
If you would like to talk it over, phone 0208 129 5854 and ask us anything you wish, with no obligation.
Live-In Care in Torquay: One Daily Price, £190, Set Out Plainly
Families ought not to have to dig for the price, so here it is.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Torquay starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
After the free assessment you will receive the figure in writing, and nothing is agreed before then.
What Is in the Daily Price
Imagine a week that starts with Princess Gardens on Monday, takes in Torquay Museum on Wednesday and ends with Cockington on Sunday. The daily price pays for a carer who lives in and is on hand day and night, covering washing and dressing, home cooked meals, medicines given and recorded, safe movement around the house and company at appointments.
Needs that go further, such as dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, are priced individually once we have met. Tell us what is needed and we will explain the options.
Paying for Live-In Care in Torquay
Money worries are easier to face with someone alongside you, so ring us first on 0208 129 5854 and we will go through the choices together. It is also worth asking whether NHS Continuing Healthcare could apply, as it can fund care where the main need is a health need.
Torbay Council’s adult social care advisers can be reached on 01803 219700, and the council says it starts by asking what matters to you, then looks at the help already around you and works out what you might pay from your income and savings. Outside office hours the Torbay Emergency Duty Service answers on 0300 456 4876.
Age UK Torbay gives free advice on benefits, including Attendance Allowance and Carer’s Allowance, on 01803 555181 from 9.15am to 1pm on weekdays, or in person at 12 Dendy Road in Paignton. For memory concerns, the Torre Abbey Memory Cafe meets weekly at the abbey in The King’s Drive, free of charge but it must be booked in advance.
Anyone who looks after a relative unpaid can also ask the Torbay Carers Service for a carer’s assessment on 01803 666620, because the trust says all carers are entitled to one.

How It Starts: Live-In Care in Torquay
Plenty of families tell us the first call was the hardest. After that, four small steps take you to a carer in the house.
01
Ring the number
Nothing needs to be prepared before you call.
On 0208 129 5854 you will reach Daniel Johnson or one of his colleagues.
Describe what is happening at home and we will think it through together, with no forms and no hard sell.
Our team arranges live-in care every day, so the questions you are asking are familiar ones.
03
We find out what matters
We ask what Torquay has meant to your relative. It could be the summer of 1944, when the soldiers of the US 4th Infantry Division sailed for Utah Beach, or Saturdays at Plainmoor, or an evening at the Babbacombe Theatre, which opened in 1939.
Every memory goes into the care plan so the carer can bring it up at the right moment. Call whenever you feel ready.
We match a carer
We weigh up experience, the health picture and personality, because a good match makes the house feel calm.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee gives you the first fortnight to judge for yourself.
02
04
The carer moves in
Most placements begin within a day or two of the assessment, sooner where a discharge is coming up.
If your relative is leaving Torbay Hospital, we will time the carer’s arrival with the discharge.
You keep one contact at NeeryVille from your first call to the day the household has settled.
Ring today and a carer could be settling in within a day or two. Where the ward has given a discharge date, tell us and we will plan around it.
Our Registered Care Manager carries out the free assessment in person and keeps in touch once the carer is in place. Live-in care is our sole business, so the people who pick up the phone set it up every day.

Live-In Care in Torquay: Your Questions on Carers, Dementia and Respite
How much does live-in care in Torquay cost?
Live-in care from us in Torquay is £190 per day, fully inclusive, with nothing added later. The free assessment ends with that figure written down for you.
How quickly can live-in care start in Torquay?
Often within a day or two of the assessment, including when the request comes from a ward at Torbay Hospital. One phone call is enough to book it.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. Staying in their own home with one familiar carer helps a person with dementia keep their routine and recognise who is helping. The Torre Abbey Memory Cafe meets weekly at the abbey in The King’s Drive for people with dementia and those who care for them, free but booked ahead.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
It depends on what matters most to your family. At home your relative keeps their own bed, their own routine and one carer, and a couple can stay together. We go through the practical side with you before anything starts.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is unwell or away, we send a cover carer so the house is never left without someone in it.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and our details are on the CQC provider page for anyone to read.
Which areas of Torquay do you cover?
The whole of the town and its surroundings: Torquay centre and Torre (TQ2), Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Chelston, Cockington, Wellswood and Meadfoot.
Do you offer respite care in Torquay?
Yes, respite care in Torquay is part of what we do. If you look after a parent or partner and need a rest, a live-in carer can step in at home for a few days, a few weeks or longer.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. Your relative can come home from Torbay Hospital to a carer who is already in the house, with the home warm and the first evening planned.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
If the care is not right, you can end it within the first 14 days straight away, with no notice and no fee.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
We take payment by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. You may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, or for help after an assessment by Torbay Council, and Age UK Torbay can advise on benefits such as Attendance Allowance.
Can a live-in carer take my mother to the memory cafe at Torre Abbey?
Yes. The cafe meets weekly at Torre Abbey in The King’s Drive and welcomes people with dementia along with family, friends and carers. Places are free but must be pre-booked, so the carer can make the booking and walk her through the gardens afterwards.
Where can my father get help claiming Attendance Allowance in Torquay?
Age UK Torbay’s advice service lists Attendance Allowance among the benefits it helps with. Its office is at 12 Dendy Road in Paignton and phone lines on 01803 555181 are open from 9.15am to 1pm, Monday to Friday. A live-in carer can sit in on the call if he would like company.
Which entrance should a carer use for appointments at Torbay Hospital?
The trust describes two entrances: one from Cadewell Lane and another at Lowes Bridge on Newton Road, about three sets of traffic lights beyond Torre Station. Navy Zone Car Park A serves all departments, and the main switchboard is 0300 456 8000.
