Blossom Home Care Cornwall celebrates its second anniversary with bold plans to expand and recruit 50 new care staff over the next 12 months. The move is designed to meet the increasing demand for quality, relationship-led home care across the region.

Since launching in Truro in 2023, the office has grown a dedicated team of carers delivering premium, privately-funded home care to clients across Truro, Perranwell, Falmouth, and surrounding areas.

Over the next year, the team - led by local health and social care professional Grace Angilley - plans to recruit further carers, enabling the service to expand into new areas including St Agnes, Mount Hawke, Helston, Camborne, Hayle and beyond.

“It’s been a fantastic two years,” said Ms Angilley. “We’ve built a brilliant team and the feedback from our clients has been consistently positive. Now it’s time to grow.

“We know there are many more people across Cornwall who want to receive high-quality care in their own home - care that’s not rushed, that values continuity and that truly supports people to live well in their own homes.”

As part of its commitment to growth and quality, Blossom Home Care Cornwall - part of an award-winning national network - has announced an uplift in its carer pay, offering £16.50 per hour for contact time – considered to be among the highest rates in the area.

“Care is a skilled profession, and we think it’s time it was recognised and rewarded as such,” said Ms Angilley. “We’ve made the decision to pay a professional wage for the professional job our carers do. This is about valuing our team, attracting the best people and making care a career that people feel proud to pursue.

“Our carers are the heart of everything we do. By investing in them and growing the right way, we can bring our services to more people across Cornwall, without compromising on quality.”
