About Southwest Care-Line
Southwest Care Line provides care and support to people in their own homes in Bridgwater and the surrounding part of Somerset. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. We begin with a visit at home. What we want to understand is how the household runs, who is already helping, what the person manages perfectly well without us and where help would make a real difference. The plan comes out of that conversation and belongs to the person to change. Support may be a single daily call for personal care and medication, several visits covering meals, housework, shopping and company, or longer stretches for somebody who should not be alone for long. In a rural area, rounds have to be planned so carers are not racing between villages and visits have to be long enough to be worth having, and we keep our patch tight so those are realistic. Across the range of needs we meet, training is practical rather than nominal, and our carers have the knowledge for the people they visit before they go out. Our carers are checked, trained and supervised, and we are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
