About SELWOOD CARE
Selwood Care provides care and support in people's own homes around Shepton Mallet and the surrounding part of Somerset. We work with older adults, with people living with dementia, and with people living with physical disabilities. We keep our remit fairly narrow on purpose, because it lets us do the work properly rather than spreading ourselves thin. What we offer is help with washing and dressing, with medication, with preparing meals and seeing that they are actually eaten, with shopping and laundry, with getting out to appointments, and with the practical business of keeping a household going. Somerset is a scattered county and distances between calls are real. We plan our rotas with that firmly in mind, because a carer running half an hour late is a genuine problem for somebody waiting to be helped out of bed. For people living with dementia we work with the routines already established at home. The rooms are understood and the habits are in place, and supporting what exists works far better than introducing something new. We keep the same small group of carers going to the same people. Please contact us if you would like to talk about support at home.
