About Manor
At Chard Manor, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Chard, Somerset. We support people with learning disabilities and autism, as well as younger adults who need either a permanent home with us or a shorter respite stay. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which reflects the effort and commitment our team puts in every day. We believe that the people we support should feel genuinely at home here. That means having a real say in how their days are spent, being supported to maintain friendships and family connections, and being treated with dignity and respect at every turn. For many of the people who live with us, Chard Manor is not just a place to receive care, it is their home, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team gets to know each person properly, understanding their history, their preferences, and what matters most to them. Care plans are built around the individual rather than shaped by routine, and we regularly review how we are doing with the people we support and their families so that we can keep improving. For those coming to us for respite care, we aim to make the transition as comfortable as possible. Whether someone is joining us for a short break or to give family carers some breathing space, we want them to feel welcome and settled from the moment they arrive. We are proud to be part of the Chard community and to play a role in the lives of the people we support. If you would like to find out more about life at Chard Manor, whether for yourself or someone you care about, we would be very happy to have a conversation and show you around.
