About South Western Care Services

South Western Care is a home care agency supporting people in Helston and across this part of Cornwall. We visit people in their own homes, from short daily calls to more involved support several times a day, and we plan the rounds so that people see carers they recognise rather than a different name each visit. Most of our work is with older people who need help with personal care, medication, meals or simply getting out safely, and with people living with dementia, where continuity and an unhurried manner matter more than anything written in a plan. We also support adults managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people living with sight or hearing loss, as well as younger adults whose needs rarely match what people expect of home care. Rural care has its own challenges, and we would rather be honest about travel and timings than promise something we cannot deliver. What we can promise is that if a visit is going to be late, we will tell you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat it as the standard to keep rather than something to advertise. If you are weighing up care at home in this area, we are happy to talk it through and to say honestly whether we are the right fit.
