About Somerset Care:

At Somerset Care we support people to live the life they choose - whether in one of our residential homes, or within their own home.

As a long-established, award-winning care provider, our priority is to make a positive difference to those in our care, supporting the individual needs of our residents and customers, and helping them live life to the full.

Our specialist teams provide round-the-clock residential, nursing and dementia care in our 20+ care homes across the South of England, while our dedicated community teams provide essential care and support to help customers remain independent in their own homes across Somerset, Devon & Wiltshire.

Those living with learning disabilities, brain injury or Autism are supported by our Realise team, who offer people the chance to take back control of their life with as much or as little care and support as they may need.

We're proud to be one of the largest not-for-profit care companies in the UK, reinvesting any profits for the benefit of our customers and our people. By embracing change, we continually strive to promote resident and customer wellbeing and ensure our services fit their current and future care needs.

It is our aim to be the care provider of choice for anyone seeking support for themselves or a loved one. When people think of excellent care, we want them to think of Somerset Care.
