Select Homecare Direct

Select Homecare Direct is a home care agency based in Highbridge, 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 Highbridge office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since June 2015.

At its latest inspection, published December 2019, the CQC rated Select Homecare Direct 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.

Select Homecare Direct 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.
