About Altair Healthcare

Altair Healthcare supports people in their own homes around Okehampton and across this part of Devon. We work with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia or a mental health condition, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment, people managing an eating disorder and people dealing with alcohol or drug misuse. That breadth means we cannot work from a single template. We sit down at the start, work out what would genuinely make a difference to the person in front of us, and build the support around that rather than around what is easiest to staff. Home care in rural Devon also means travelling, and being reliable about it. People plan their day around the time we said we would arrive, so we take our scheduling seriously and we ring ahead when something is running late. Visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals and drinks, help around the house and with shopping, and support to get out to appointments or into town. The Care Quality Commission has not yet published an overall rating for us. We are glad to talk through our recruitment, training and supervision arrangements with anyone considering us. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss care at home in this part of Devon.
