Local knowledge across Yeovil

Yeovil is the largest town in south Somerset, a busy market and manufacturing town best known for the Westland aircraft works and framed to the south east by Ninesprings and the wider Yeovil Country Park. Homes here range from the older terraces around the town centre, Hendford and Reckleford to the newer estates at Abbey Manor, Preston Plucknett and Brympton, and care needs vary just as much from one neighbourhood to the next. We tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service, whether that is a short visiting call in Pen Mill or full live-in care out towards Yeovil Marsh.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Yeovil District Hospital on Higher Kingston, which is run by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and serves much of south Somerset and the neighbouring parts of Dorset. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. Care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and we work to those standards across everything we arrange.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Somerset Council, the unitary authority that has covered the area since it replaced the former county and district councils. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.

Staffing for care providers in Yeovil

Care homes, supported living services, hospitals and community teams across Yeovil rely on dependable staffing, and that is where our staffing side comes in. We supply NMC-registered nurses and midwives, support workers, mental health professionals and learning disability specialists, from a single shift to a fully managed rota and permanent placements. This part of what we do is genuinely national, so a provider in Yeovil or anywhere across Somerset gets the same vetted, reliable cover we supply elsewhere, without the compliance headache. Every professional is checked to the same high standard before they ever set foot on your floor.
