About EPIC Homecare

EPIC Homecare provides care and support to people in their own homes in Brixham and the surrounding area. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. The help we give is practical. Getting up, washed and dressed in the morning and settled at night. Prompting or assistance with medication. Meals prepared, shopping fetched, the house kept in reasonable order. Company for somebody who would otherwise spend the day alone, and a hand to get to appointments or out for a change of air. For some people that is one short call a day and for others several, worked out at home with the person rather than decided in advance. Reliability is what makes this work and it is mostly unglamorous. Arriving at the agreed time. Staying the full visit. Sending carers the person already knows. Letting a family know promptly when something has to change. We keep our rounds tight and local so those are realistic. Where somebody has a physical disability we pay attention to the mechanics of the house. Where there is sensory loss we think about lighting, contrast and hearing aids that have actually been checked. For people living with dementia we attend closely to timing and familiar faces. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
