⭐ Focus on Ellie Veale ⭐

Ellie has been with Tavy Care nearly 2 years.

Ellie grew up in Surrey and moved to Mary Tavy in 2014, before settling in Tavistock in 2023. She lives at home with her mum, dad, sister, and her cat — and as a big cat lover, this suits her perfectly!

Outside of work, Ellie enjoys going on long walks with her partner Josh, staying overnight in small villages around Cornwall and lifting weights at the gym.

Ellie absolutely loves working in health and social care and can’t imagine herself doing anything else. She really values the social side of the role, meeting new people, and building meaningful relationships with both clients and carers. The idea of a 9–5 office job is her worst nightmare — she’d be bored very quickly!

Although Ellie always thought she would end up working with children, she’s found herself at the other end of the spectrum and wouldn’t change it for the world. She has also provided care for two late family members in the past.

When she’s not working, Ellie also enjoys cooking and exploring Asian and other foreign cuisine markets while food shopping.

🌟Focus on Ella🌟

Ella Denley

With just under three years’ experience in care, Ella has quickly become a valued member of the team. Their care journey began in Tavistock with another company before joining Tavy Care, where they have continued to grow and thrive in the role.

Originally born in the Midlands, Ella moved to the area at a young age and has proudly grown up locally. Outside of work, life is busy and exciting — Ella lives with her partner Will, whom have been together for nine years. Last April marked a big milestone as the couple moved into their first home together and are currently taking on the challenge (and fun!) of renovating it themselves. Sharing the chaos are their two energetic kittens, Rex and Cody, who keep things entertaining.

Always keen to develop professionally, Ella recently achieved her Level 3 in Adult Care. Before moving into care, Ella spent seven years working in childcare after leaving school, gaining several qualifications along the way — proving that caring has always been at the heart of what she does.

When not at work or renovating, Ella enjoys catching up with friends, taking relaxing walks across Dartmoor, and hosting a much-anticipated game night every couple of weeks with family and friends — a highlight they always look forward to.

🌟 A Huge Shout-Out to Our Incredible Domiciliary Care Team 🌟

Over the last few days, our carers have faced some extremely challenging and, at times, dangerous conditions due to ice and snow — and we could not be prouder of them.

Working across rural areas where roads are not gritted and in places cars simply cannot reach, many of our team have gone above and beyond. From parking up and walking to clients’ homes, wearing socks over shoes to prevent slipping, to carrying grit with them to make paths and entrances safer — their dedication has been nothing short of remarkable.

All of this while working in freezing temperatures and continuing to do the already demanding job of caring for others, with compassion, resilience, and determination. Their priority has always been the safety, comfort, and wellbeing of our clients, no matter the conditions.

Thank you to every single one of our carers for your commitment, courage, and kindness. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do 💙👏

Here are just a few pictures of our dedicated carers.

🌟Spotlight on Debs🌟

Debs Murphy

Debs is a Londoner by birth but headed north to Yorkshire for university — and ended up staying there for a whole 30 years!
She has two grown-up children, Ben (24) and Amy (21). Some of you may recognise Amy, who did some bank work with Tavy Care while she was a student. She’s now a fully qualified nurse working at Derriford Hospital — very proud mum moment!

About 18 months ago, Debs and Ben made the move from Yorkshire to Bere Alston, bringing along their furry family: cats Raya and Hermione, and Neo, their blue Staffie lockdown pup (now a very grown-up five-year-old). The move to Devon was all about being closer to family — including her sprightly 85-year-old mum and sister in Crapstone, and Amy, who studied at Plymouth University.

Most of Debs career has been spent working in housing, homelessness, and support services, supporting a wide range of wonderful people, many of whom have been vulnerable.
She’s been with Tavy Care for around 18 months, and this is her very first role as a carer. She’s loving learning the ropes and supporting clients to live well and independently in their own homes. Alongside this, she also works part-time for the Filo Project as Area Coordinator for West Devon — and feels incredibly lucky to have two jobs she loves that fit nicely around the rest of her life.

When she’s not working, Debs loves getting out walking with Neo and exploring all the beautiful local walks on her doorstep. She’s also recently taken up gig rowing, which she’s thoroughly enjoying — great exercise, lovely people, and some unbeatable Devon scenery.
