Somerset

Somerset is a home care agency based in Wells, 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 Wells office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Gravity Care Services, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since February 2024.

Somerset has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Somerset has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Somerset with a rate on record typically charge about £19.30 an hour and £1,398 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 111 registered home care agencies in Somerset. Others working the same area include In Caring Hands Wells, Candlelight Homecare Glastonbury Area Office and Ability Care Solutions Ltd, 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.
