Live In Care Somerset
Personalised one-to-one care at home across Somerset.
- Family-run provider since 2014
- Fully regulated by the CQC
- Carefully matched live in carers
Live In Care in Somerset offers one-to-one support for people who want to remain in their own homes as their needs change. From Taunton and Yeovil to coastal communities and smaller villages, care is planned around the individual’s daily routine, preferences and level of assistance.
A family may be noticing that a parent needs more help, looking for support with dementia or planning a return home after hospital. We discuss what is becoming difficult and assess how a live-in arrangement could work, including the practical needs of the household.
What Live In Care in Somerset Can Include
A care plan can include help with washing, dressing, preparing meals, agreed medication support, mobility and everyday household tasks. Companionship and reassurance can make daily life easier while the person continues to choose how they spend their time.
We assess the tasks involved, the home environment and any equipment or additional staffing needed. Support with dementia, couples care, respite or recovery is tailored to the person rather than treated as the same arrangement for every household.
A live-in carer needs suitable accommodation and agreed breaks. If frequent overnight assistance or waking-night support is required, we assess the staffing needed; one carer does not work continuously for 24 hours.
Types of Live In Care Available in Somerset
Families in Somerset often arrange live in care for different reasons, from ongoing 24-hour support to dementia care, hospital discharge support, respite care and care for couples.

Cost of Live In Care in
Somerset
The fee depends on the assessed assistance required, whether support is for one person or a couple, and whether additional or overnight staffing is needed. We provide the proposed fee in writing after assessment so you can understand the arrangement before deciding.
Compare the complete proposed package with other options, including what is included and any additional costs. Council funding and other support depend on individual circumstances and the relevant assessment; they should not be assumed.
Home from Hospital Care
Across Somerset
A return home after a stay at Musgrove Park, Yeovil Hospital, the Royal United Hospital in Bath or another hospital may require temporary or longer-term support. We discuss the discharge information, personal care, meals, medication arrangements and safe mobility needs. Any required equipment and clinical follow-up should be arranged alongside the proposed care plan.
We can discuss short-term support while someone recovers or a longer-term arrangement if needs persist. A start date depends on assessment, carer availability and the home being ready; please contact us early when a discharge is being planned.
