About Us
We at St Chads House are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in Midsomer Norton, providing specialist support for adults with learning disabilities and autism in the heart of Bath and North East Somerset. Our home combines thoughtful, person centred care with the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Set within the market town of Midsomer Norton in the beautiful South West, our home benefits from a peaceful community setting whilst remaining well connected to local amenities, green spaces, and the wider Somerset countryside. The BA postcode area is known for its friendly neighbourhoods and gentle pace of life, and we believe this environment plays an important role in helping our residents feel settled, valued, and at home.
Our specialism in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism means that everything we do is shaped around the individual. We take time to understand each person we support: their preferences, routines, communication styles, and the things that bring them joy. For residents, this translates into consistent, respectful support that promotes independence, confidence, and meaningful daily living. For families, it means the reassurance of knowing your loved one is understood as a whole person, not simply a set of needs.
Alongside long term residential care, we also offer respite care, providing families and regular carers with a trusted place for their loved one to stay for a shorter period. Whether respite is needed to cover a holiday, a family event, or simply to give carers a well earned rest, we aim to make each stay warm, structured, and enjoyable, so guests leave feeling that they have been genuinely looked after.
Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out on 21 June 2023, awarded St Chads House an Overall rating of Good, with Good ratings across every domain: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. For families, this consistent picture offers meaningful assurance. It reflects an environment where people feel safe, where care is delivered effectively by a team that listens, where kindness is at the centre of daily life, where support adapts to changing needs, and where the home is guided by thoughtful, values driven leadership.
Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the questions, hopes, and worries that come with it. If you are exploring options for a relative with a learning disability or autism, or considering respite in Midsomer Norton, we warmly invite you to get in touch with St Chads House. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about daily life here, and help you feel confident that your loved one will be welcomed, respected, and truly at home with us.
