About Us
Angels In Disguise
We started Angels In Disguise Homecare because we believe care should feel like care — not a service, not a transaction, but a genuine relationship building and connection. We are a family-run homecare provider rooted in Cornwall and Devon, and everything we do is guided by one simple belief: every person deserves to be treated with dignity, warmth, and respect.
Who We Are
Our Story
Angels In Disguise was born out of personal experience. Our founder witnessed first-hand having needed care herself following an admission into ITU. The care she received was far below standard she expected and resulted in the company being founded. To show the difference that truly compassionate care can make — and equally, the harm that cold, impersonal care can cause. That experience became a calling.
We set out to build a homecare company that would be different. One where carers are valued, supported, and given the time they need to do their jobs properly. One where clients are known by name, not by a care package number. One where families can rest easy knowing their loved ones are in safe, kind hands.
Today, Angels In Disguise serves families across Cornwall and Devon — and we're proud that so many of our clients come to us through word of mouth. That trust is everything to us.
I started Angels In Disguise Homecare because I wanted to create the kind of care I would want to recieve. Every decision we make comes back to that simple question: would I be happy with this for someone I love?

Our Mission
To deliver homecare that genuinely improves the lives of the people we support — and the families who love them. We measure our success not by the number of visits we complete, but by the smiles we see, the confidence we restore, and the peace of mind we provide.
Dignity First
Every person we care for is treated with the same respect and sensitivity we would want for our own family members.
Genuine Compassion
We don't just go through the motions. Our carers genuinely care — and that makes all the difference.
Consistency
We match clients with the same carers wherever possible, because familiarity and trust are the foundations of great care.
Honesty
We are open, transparent, and straightforward with clients, families, and each other. No surprises, no jargon.
Community
We are part of the communities we serve. Our carers are local people who understand and care about Cornwall and Devon.
Continuous Improvement
We never stop learning. We invest in our team's training and development so our care keeps getting better.
