At Independent People, we recognise that home is the place that reflects your personality and history—where comforts, routines, and beloved items bring genuine reassurance. Our live in care in Somerset offers a cost-effective alternative to residential facilities, ensuring you or your loved one remains in familiar surroundings while receiving around-the-clock assistance. Every aspect of our approach values personal preferences and independence, so no two care plans are ever the same.

Why Live-In Care Is Better Than a Care Home in Somerset

Opting for live in care in Somerset means you can:

  • Remain in a much-loved home and local community, enjoying farm shops or weekend visits to Cheddar Gorge
  • Receive personalised, one-on-one support rather than dividing staff time in a residential setting
  • Preserve daily routines—decide mealtimes, bedtimes, and how to spend each day
  • Maintain emotional connections with neighbours, friends, and family close by

For many, this tailored approach fosters both physical well-being and peace of mind—something difficult to replicate in a care facility.
