Mendip Care Ltd

Mendip Care Ltd 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, people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and live-in care. It is run by Mendip Care. The agency has been registered since June 2021.

At its latest inspection, published August 2023, the CQC rated Mendip Care Ltd 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.

Mendip Care Ltd has told us it charges £29 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 £406 a week. Live-in care is from £1,400 a week. That is about 50% above the typical hourly rate in Somerset of £19.30.

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.
