Frequently Asked Questions About Care Homes in Somerset

How many care homes are there in Somerset?
This directory lists 194 open care homes in Somerset. Listings cover services for older people and other adults. Browse by care type and CQC rating, then check that each home can meet the person's needs.
How much do care homes cost in Somerset?
Fees depend on the home, room and care needs. Ask your shortlisted homes in Somerset for a current written quote, including what is covered, extra charges and how fees may change. Where a listing includes a checked published fee, it gives the source and check date; this is not a personalised quote.
How do I find a good care home in Somerset?
Start by filtering care homes by CQC rating - look for homes rated Good or Outstanding. Consider the type of care needed (residential, nursing, or dementia care), location for family visits, and facilities offered. Visit your shortlisted homes in person before deciding.
What types of care homes are available in Somerset?
Use the care-type links to explore the services recorded for homes in Somerset. Read the individual CQC record and speak to the home about the support needed, including dementia care, nursing or short stays. A care category alone does not confirm that a home can accept a particular resident.

Could the NHS pay for care home fees?

NHS Continuing Healthcare could cover all your care costs with no means test required. Learn how to claim it.
