Total Care

Total Care is a home care agency based in Bridgwater, 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 Bridgwater 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mrs. Deborah Clark. The agency has been registered since September 2011.

At its latest inspection, published January 2019, the CQC rated Total Care 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.

Total Care 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 Southwest Care-Line Ltd, Voyage (DCA) Somerset & Devon and Kulera Care, 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.
