Somerset

Somerset is a home care agency based in Street, in the Somerset council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Street office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and live-in care. It is part of Baobab Social Care, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since December 2022.

At its latest inspection, published August 2025, the CQC rated Somerset Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Somerset has told us it charges from £30 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £420 a week. Live-in care is from £1,250 a week. That is about 55% above the typical hourly rate in Somerset of £19.30.

On how it works, the agency says: 24/7 on-call and free assessment. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

Others working the same area include Safe & Sound Homecare Services (Street) Ltd, Candlelight Homecare Glastonbury Area Office and In Caring Hands Wells, 3 of which have a rate on record. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care typically about £1,120 a week across England.
