Live In Care Street
One to one care at home across Street, Glastonbury and nearby Somerset villages.
- Family-run provider since 2014
- Fully regulated by the CQC
- Carefully matched live in carers
Street is officially a village, yet everyday life here has many of the facilities and pace of a small town. Its Clarks shoemaking heritage, busy centre, Strode Theatre, Greenbank Pool and close relationship with Glastonbury give residents a particularly strong sense of place. For someone who has spent decades here, remaining at home may also mean keeping familiar shops, neighbours and community connections within reach. Street Parish Council describes it as a village with the population and facilities of a town, closely associated with Clarks, Clarks Village, Strode Theatre and its swimming pools.
Live In Care allows support to be introduced without replacing that established life. A carefully matched carer lives in the home and helps with the parts of the day that have become difficult, while the person keeps control over the routines, decisions and activities they can still manage for themselves.
What Live In Care in Street Can Include
Support needs do not always develop evenly. Someone may still be comfortable visiting the High Street but find mornings increasingly difficult. Another person may prepare simple meals yet forget medication, while somebody returning from hospital may mainly need help rebuilding strength and confidence.
The assessment looks at what the person can continue doing, where risks or difficulties have emerged, and what support would make life at home safer and more manageable
Support may include: personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support, companionship, light household tasks, reassurance, dementia support, respite support, help after hospital discharge and care for couples.
Popular Types of Live In Care in Street
Families around Street often begin considering Live In Care when the issue is no longer one isolated task, but the gaps between short care visits. The right arrangement may involve long-term reassurance, dementia support, recovery care, a temporary family-carer break or helping a couple remain together in their own home.

Supporting Families Across Street and Nearby Areas
Street lies at the end of the Polden Hills on the Somerset Levels and is closely connected with Glastonbury. We support families in Street itself and in nearby communities including Walton, Ashcott, Meare, Compton Dundon and surrounding villages.
Some relatives live close enough to visit regularly; others balance work, children or longer journeys into Somerset. A Live In Carer can provide continuity between family visits, notice gradual changes and support everyday tasks without leaving relatives to coordinate several separate calls themselves.
Where it is safe and included within the care plan, support may also help someone keep familiar routines around Street’s shops, library, theatre, health services or community activities. The aim is not to fill every hour, but to make ordinary life feel possible and recognisable again.
Local Groups and Support in Street
Street has an unusually broad range of local health, cultural and community resources for a village. A Live In Carer may help someone prepare for an activity, organise transport, attend an appointment or remain connected with a familiar organisation where this is appropriate.
- Street U3A – local interest groups, talks and social activities for older adults and retirees.
- Strode Theatre – a local arts and entertainment venue that may support gentle outings where appropriate.

For many Street families, the priority is steady, respectful support that helps a loved one feel safe at home and less isolated, while keeping the routines that matter to them.
Why Families in Street Choose Live In Care
Families in Street often want care that is dependable without becoming intrusive. A person may value choosing when breakfast happens, continuing to use a favourite room, seeing familiar neighbours or deciding how their day should unfold. Those details can easily be lost when support is built entirely around a timetable of short calls.
Our approach centres on one-to-one relationships. We consider the carer’s experience, personality and way of working as well as the person’s practical needs. The care team remains involved after the placement begins, giving the client, family and carer a consistent point of contact as circumstances change.

FAQs About Live In Care in Street
What if my parent in Street manages some tasks but struggles at particular times of day?
Live In Care does not require someone to give up the tasks they can still complete independently. The care plan can focus on the more difficult parts of the day, such as getting washed and dressed, preparing an evening meal, remembering medication or settling safely at night. Support can then change if the person’s needs develop.
Which villages and communities around Street do you cover?
We support families in Street and nearby areas including Walton, Ashcott, Meare, Compton Dundon and other surrounding Somerset communities. The assessment is based on the person’s needs and home environment, whether they live in the centre of Street or a nearby village.
Can a Live In Carer help someone keep using Street’s shops and community facilities?
Where it is safe and included within the care plan, a carer may help someone prepare for a local outing, organise transport, accompany them to an appointment or provide reassurance while they continue a familiar activity. The purpose is to preserve confidence and connection rather than confining care to the home.
Can care be arranged after treatment at West Mendip Community Hospital?
Yes. If someone returns home after hospital treatment, rehabilitation, an illness, operation or fall, a Live In Carer can help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, mobility and rebuilding everyday confidence. Care can also work alongside community nurses, therapists or other professionals where needed.
How can Live In Care support someone with dementia in Street?
Remaining in a familiar Street home may help preserve recognition and established routines. A Live In Carer can provide reassurance, gentle prompts, meals, personal care, companionship and a consistent structure while adapting support to the person’s changing abilities.
Can one Live In Carer support a couple living in Street?
Yes, depending on the assessed needs of each person. Care can be arranged around both partners while helping them preserve their shared home life and routines. The assessment considers each person individually before confirming whether one-carer support is suitable.
Can short-term care be arranged while a family carer takes a break?
Yes. Live In Care can provide planned respite while a family carer rests, travels or deals with other commitments. It may also be used temporarily after illness or while the family considers what longer-term arrangement would work best.
How much does Live In Care cost in Street?
The weekly fee depends on the level of care required, whether support is for one person or a couple, and whether specialist or additional night support is needed. Following the assessment, we provide a clear written fee based on the proposed care arrangement.
