About Blackdice Healthcare

Blackdice Healthcare provides care and support to people in their own homes in Ottery St Mary and the surrounding part of Devon. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, mental health needs and physical disabilities. Support is worked out at home with the person and whoever they want present. For some it is a single morning call to help with washing, dressing and medication. For others it is several visits a day, with meals, company, help around the house and support to get out and about. The plan is agreed together and changes as life changes rather than when a review falls due. In a rural area the things that make care at home work are unglamorous. Rounds have to be planned so carers are not racing between villages. Visits have to be long enough to be worth having. The same faces need to come back, because having to explain your own household to a stranger every week wears somebody down. We keep our patch tight so those are realistic. Where somebody is living with dementia we pay close attention to timing and familiarity. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition we try to be steady and predictable rather than reassuring. Our carers are checked, trained and supervised, and we are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
