Home Instead Senior Care

Home Instead Senior Care is a home care agency based in Ivybridge, in the Devon council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Ivybridge office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by IVYBRIDGE HOME CARE. The agency has been registered since April 2020.

At its latest inspection, published December 2022, the CQC rated Home Instead Senior Care Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
