About Carroll's
Carroll's is a home care agency supporting people in Minehead and the surrounding part of Somerset in their own homes. We take a fairly simple view of what good home care is, which is being reliable, turning up when we said we would and knowing the person well enough to notice when something has changed. Most of our work is with older people who need help with the everyday things that have become harder, washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and keeping the house in order. We also support people living with dementia, and that work depends above all on continuity. A familiar carer who knows how someone likes their morning to go will achieve far more than a stranger following written instructions, however detailed those instructions are. For that reason we plan our rounds so that people see the same small group of carers rather than a different face each week. It also means our team pick up early when someone is unsteady, eating less or simply not themselves, which is often how a bigger problem is avoided. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would rather be judged on the practical things, though. If you are thinking about care at home in this area, ring us and ask what we could realistically offer, and we will give you a straight answer.
