About Care South Home Care Services
We are Care South Home Care in Somerset, based at Crewkerne, and we support people in their own homes across the county. The people we visit are a wide group, and intentionally so. Older people, many living with dementia. Adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. Adults living with mental ill health. People with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Younger adults. People living with an eating disorder, and people dealing with problems with alcohol or drugs. Somerset is a big county with a lot of small places in it, and for people living in villages a good deal of what we provide is simply contact with the outside world. That is worth saying plainly, because the practical tasks are only part of the value. Support is agreed with the person first. We ask how the day runs now, what has become difficult, what they still want to manage alone, and what would make the biggest difference. From there we set the visits and adjust them as things move. That might be personal care, help with medication, meals, mobility, shopping, paperwork, or getting out to work, college and the community. Across all of it, what we work hardest at is reliability. Turning up when we said. Sending somebody the person already knows. Noticing when something has shifted. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ring us if you would like to talk it through.
