Wiltshire home care
Needing extra support doesn’t have to mean leaving your home and family behind. At Novus Care, we provide one-to-one care at home, so you can make the most of life in the environment you know and love best.
We offer several types of home care and cover all areas of Wiltshire. For you, that means getting the right kind of support from a friendly, highly trained local carer. Our Wiltshire live-in care team is here for people who need around-the-clock care, while services like visiting care suit those who are more independent. It’s all about giving you options so you can choose the right level of support for your unique needs and circumstances.
And because every person is different, our care is tailored to you. We’ll work with you and your family to draw up a care plan based on your practical, emotional and health needs. Then we’ll send a carer who’s a good fit for your personality and understands your routine and the things you like to do. All our carers are passionate about their work and are trained to support people with a wide range of health conditions.
So, if you’re looking for Wiltshire home care that respects your choices and helps you stay independent at home, why not contact our friendly team?

Wiltshire live-in care FAQs
What are live-in carers allowed to help with?
Your live-in carer can help with many tasks at home and out and about. That includes doing light chores, cooking meals, looking after pets, running errands and assisting with personal care. They’re not allowed to give injections, change dressings on open wounds or carry out home improvements.
Will my live-in carer need their own room?
Yes. As a minimum, your live-in carer will need a private room with a single bed and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. They can share other facilities with you and your family.
Who will provide cover when my carer takes a break?
Carers take short regular breaks and longer (1-2 week) breaks every 3 to 6 weeks. We’ll cover the longer breaks by sending a replacement carer. We can also cover the shorter breaks at an additional cost.
What health conditions can you support?
Our carers are trained to support anyone aged 18 or over, including people living with specific health conditions. That means you can count on us for high-quality, person-centric cancer care, stroke care and dementia care in Wiltshire. We also care for people living with learning difficulties, mental health challenges and more. See a full list of conditions we support.
Are carers background-checked?
Yes. Carers go through several rigorous checks before recruitment, including DBS checks.
