About Live in Care
We provide care at home across Taunton and the surrounding parts of Somerset, including live in support for people who need someone with them throughout the day and night. Live in care suits people who would struggle with a series of short visits but who have no wish to leave their own home. Having one carer in the house means the day can follow the person rather than a rota, meals happen when someone is hungry, and there is company rather than a series of brief appearances. We match carers and households carefully, because living alongside someone is a relationship and not simply a shift. We also provide visiting support. Our work covers older people and those living with dementia, adults living with mental health needs, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we support younger adults as well. For dementia in particular, the value of a familiar person in a familiar house is hard to overstate. Routines hold, surroundings carry memory, and confusion has less room to take hold. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you are weighing up options for yourself or a relative in Somerset, please get in touch. We will talk through honestly whether visiting support or live in care makes more sense.
