About
Unicare Devon is a home care agency that delivers care and support in people's own homes. It is based in Newton Abbot, Teignbridge, and its stated care focus is dementia. It also supports older adults, younger adults under 65, and people with physical disabilities, mental health needs, sensory impairments or learning disabilities. The agency describes itself as a family-run team and a provider working with the NHS and Devon County Council.
After an initial conversation about a person's needs, concerns and goals, the agency carries out a full assessment and draws up a care plan around their daily routine. The person stays involved throughout, and the agency matches them with suitable care professionals and keeps the support under review as circumstances change. The Care Quality Commission rates Unicare Devon Good overall, with all five key questions also rated Good, in a report published in 2020.
