About Ruby Care
We at Ruby Care are proud to provide compassionate home care across Taunton and the surrounding communities of Somerset, supporting people to live well and safely in the place they know best: their own home. Our team delivers thoughtful, person centred care tailored to each individual we visit. Being based in the TA postcode area of Taunton allows us to serve families throughout the town and its neighbouring villages with a genuinely local presence. We understand the rhythms of life in this part of the South West, and our carers travel to you, bringing warmth, professionalism and reliability directly to your doorstep. Home has always been where people feel most themselves, surrounded by familiar photographs, favourite chairs and treasured routines, and our role is to make it possible for that to continue for as long as it can. Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the people we support. For older people, we offer everything from companionship and help with daily living to more involved personal care, always delivered with dignity and respect. Our dementia care is built on patience, gentle routine and a deep understanding that every person living with dementia has their own history, preferences and ways of communicating. For adults with a learning disability or autism, we focus on enabling independence, celebrating individuality and building trusting relationships at a pace that feels right for the person we support. We also care for people living with physical disabilities and those with visual or hearing impairments, adapting our communication and practical support so that no one feels overlooked or rushed. In practice, this means families can expect carers who take the time to really know their relative, who notice small changes in wellbeing, and who work in close partnership with loved ones, GPs and other health professionals. Whether it is a short daily visit to help with medication and breakfast, longer periods of companionship, or more comprehensive support with washing, dressing, mobility and meals, we shape our care around the person rather than asking the person to fit around us. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, carried out in March 2025, awarded us an overall rating of Good, with Good ratings across all five key areas: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. For families, this independent assurance offers real peace of mind. It reflects a team that is safe in its practice, effective in the outcomes it achieves, genuinely caring in its manner, responsive to individual needs and thoughtfully led. Achieving Good in every domain is a reflection of the everyday commitment our carers bring to each visit. Choosing home care for someone you love is rarely an easy decision, and we know how many questions and worries can accompany that first conversation. If you are exploring support for yourself, a parent, a partner or another family member in Taunton or the wider Somerset area, we would be glad to hear from you. Please get in touch to talk through what matters most, and let us help you find a gentle, reassuring way forward.
