About Care Wyvern
We are Care Wyvern, a home care agency based in Taunton and working across Somerset. We support adults of all ages in their own homes, from older people who need a hand with personal care and daily routines to younger adults who want support to get on with their own lives. Our work covers a broad range of needs. We support people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities or autism, people with visual or hearing impairment, people recovering from or managing an eating disorder, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug misuse. Those are very different kinds of support, and we do not pretend one approach fits all of them. What they have in common is that the plan belongs to the person, not to us. We think carefully about who we send to whom. Continuity matters, particularly where trust has taken a while to build, so we try to keep the same small group of workers visiting the same person. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are pleased with that, though it is a starting point rather than a finish. If you are looking for support in Somerset, get in touch and we will talk honestly about whether we are the right fit.
