About Laurel Homecare
Laurel Homecare provides care and support in people's own homes around Martock and the surrounding parts of Somerset. We work with older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and people who have lost some of their sight or hearing. Rural home care brings its own practical problems. The distances between calls are real, and a carer running half an hour late is a genuine difficulty for somebody waiting to be helped out of bed. We plan our rotas with that firmly in mind and we would rather cover a smaller patch properly than a wider one badly. The support runs from short prompting calls to several longer visits a day covering personal care, medication, meals, household tasks, getting out and company. For a number of the people we visit, particularly those living alone in villages, the carer is the main person they see all day, and we treat that as part of the job rather than as an extra. We keep the same carers with the same households wherever the rota allows, and we change plans when circumstances change. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk about support.
