Home care in Somerset
Home care in Somerset supports people to live independently and comfortably in the place they know best - home. Enter postcode of the person to find your nearest office and local care team.
We provide award winning care in Barnstaple, Bideford, Braunton, South Molton, Northam, Fremington, Landkey, Bratton Fleming, Kings Nympton, Combe Martin and the surrounding areas
Keeping to a familiar daily pattern helps someone living with dementia feel more settled. Our Care Professionals learn how a person likes their morning to go, what time they prefer lunch, and the small habits that give structure to their day, then support those routines consistently.
Medication prompts are part of this. Care Professionals keep to prescribed schedules, liaise with pharmacies or GPs when needed, and make sure nothing gets missed. They're trained in dementia-specific support, and we're regulated by the CQC, so there's proper oversight of everything we do.
We also look at the home environment with fresh eyes. That means checking for trip hazards, adjusting lighting in hallways or on stairs, and keeping walkways clear so moving around feels safer.
For someone in Stoke St Gregory or nearby, a visit to the Willows and Wetlands Visitor Centre can be a lovely outing. Handling willow or watching basket weaving demonstrations prompts conversation and engagement with something tactile and interesting.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Our Care Starts With Connection
When someone's memory or language changes, the way we communicate changes too. Our Care Professionals use clear, short sentences, gentle prompts, and plenty of patience. If a person becomes confused or upset, a calm and unhurried response helps them feel more at ease.
The same Care Professionals visit regularly, so the person opening the door sees someone they recognise. We match people on personality and interests, not just availability, so there's a natural ease to the relationship. Care Professionals complete City & Guilds assured dementia training, giving them practical techniques for responding to changes in mood and behaviour.
A Care Professional who knows Somerset well might suggest a gentle walk through the formal gardens at Hestercombe, where familiar scents and colours prompt a conversation about gardening or a favourite plant. Local knowledge like that turns an afternoon into something personal and enjoyable.
Our Home Care Services
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know.

Our Somerset Team is With You Through Every Step
Our Care Managers are available whenever you have a question, a concern, or just want to talk something through. You don't need to wait for a scheduled review.
We keep families informed about how their relative is getting on, including any changes we've noticed in mood, appetite, or routine. Updates are clear and specific, so you have an accurate picture of what's happening day to day.
Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs change. If someone needs more support in the mornings, or a different approach to evenings, we adapt. As part of our dementia care in Somerset, we also help families think ahead, covering what to expect at different stages, how to plan for increased support, and practical steps you can take now to prepare. You get the information you need, when you need it, so you can make decisions at your own pace.
Our dementia care in Somerset is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
Having someone stay in your home to provide care can feel daunting, but our live-in care solutions help to bring older adults more independence and enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing. If you value the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is always someone nearby, live-in care in Somerset could be an excellent alternative to a care home.
The right support is crucial when managing pain and end-of-life care. Our palliative care focuses on dignity and enables your loved one to remain in the place they feel happiest. We provide considerate palliative care in Somerset, so you can spend more meaningful moments together while we carefully manage their pain and comfort.
Taking a break from caring can feel impossible if your loved one is lonely or has challenging health conditions, but our respite care in Somerset is designed to step in with dependable care at any time. Whether you're recharging your batteries or managing other commitments, our Care Professionals can provide reliable support, so you can take time to yourself without disrupting routines.
