Introduction


Moving into a care home may be the most important decision you have to think about.

On this website we provide:

 

  • Easy to understand information about moving into a care home
  • A list of care homes in Somerset and the facility to search for homes in areas of the county
  • Care home vacancies in Somerset


Most care homes for people in Somerset are run by private or voluntary organisations. There are two different types of care homes:
 

  • Care Homes providing personal care
  • Care Homes with nursing 

 

Leaving your home and familiar surroundings to move into a care home is a big step. You should think about what will be involved in a move and consider all choices carefully.
