Somerset

Somerset is a home care agency based in Cheddar, 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 Cheddar office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is run by Caple Healthcare. The agency has been registered since January 2023.

At its latest inspection, published September 2026, 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 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 Leaf Somerset, 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.
