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.
