About LAN Home Care
LAN Home Care is a home care agency in Taunton, supporting older people in their own homes across the town and the surrounding part of Somerset. What we do is the practical business of keeping a household going so that somebody can stay where they want to be. Helping a person out of bed and into the day without leaving them feeling handled. A hand with washing and dressing, which protects a good deal more than appearances. Medication at the right time, in the right order, written down honestly. A meal actually cooked rather than something opened and left on a worktop. Shopping, laundry, a kitchen left tidy. Help to move safely about the house. And a quarter of an hour sitting down with a cup of tea when that is what the visit really needs to be. None of it is dramatic, and all of it decides whether somebody can stay in the house they have lived in for decades. We work hardest at reliability and continuity. Being where we said we would be, at roughly the time we said, with somebody the person recognises. Older people in particular build their day around a visit, and a familiar carer is the one who notices the untouched food or the new confusion before it becomes a crisis. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Ring us and we will talk through what you need without any pressure.

Home Care at LAN Home Care
Somerset is the council to approach about an assessment and any funded hours. Hourly rates in the South West generally fall between £28 and £33, which is indicative rather than this agency's own price. The weekly bill follows the number and length of visits, so compare visit length as well as the rate. The agency says it works hardest at reliability and continuity, and that a familiar carer is the one who notices the untouched food or the new confusion before it becomes a crisis. None of the work is dramatic, it says, and all of it decides whether somebody can stay in the house they have lived in for decades. Ask about minimum visit lengths, how rotas are set and what notice a change requires.
