Live-In Care in Wells
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Wells, from the streets around the Market Place out to the Mendip villages. A DBS-checked carer, employed and trained by us, moves into the family home and stays, so the paper still arrives, the hymn book stays on the shelf and the daily pace is your relative’s own. The same person is there at breakfast and at night, and rings to our office are answered by people who do this every day.
If your relative is on a ward at the Royal United Hospital, which is about 22 miles from Wells, let us know as soon as a date is discussed. The Royal United is a 565-bed hospital at Combe Park in Bath, run by Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, and it has an emergency department. We speak to the ward, then make certain a carer, a warm room and a quiet first evening are ready when your relative comes home.
Even getting from the front door to the Market Place can feel like a journey once the legs begin to tire. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it over, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Wells: the Cathedral Green, the Moat and the Mendip Hills
Think of a retired schoolmaster of ninety-one who sang in the cathedral choir as a boy. On weekday afternoons he likes to hear Choral Evensong on the radio, and he can tell you which year the Harrison organ was rebuilt. His carer helps him into his armchair, switches on the set and lowers the lamp. When the anthem ends he hums the final line, asks for his tea and talks about the winter he lost his voice.
If you would like a quiet hour like that for your own father or mother, pick up the phone and we will talk it through.
Such afternoons depend on the hours around them, so here is what a live-in carer does for your relative between the morning kettle and the last tablet at night.
A Gentle Start
Rising, washing and dressing happen at whatever speed your relative likes, with breakfast on the table when they are ready. The carer lives in the house, so there is no list of visiting times to watch.
Out on the Green
Cathedral Green is a wide lawn beside the cathedral with three old gateways, Brown’s Gatehouse, Penniless Porch and Chain Gate. The carer takes a rug and a flask and lets your relative choose the bench and the length of the outing.
Tablets and Surgery Visits
Every dose is given on schedule and written down. For a trip to the GP, a clinic or a ward, the carer travels too, listens carefully and sends the news home to the family.
Proper Meals
Cooking follows medical advice and a lifetime of tastes. The carer can shop for the cheese and vegetables your relative has always bought, and cook the dishes they love.
Museum Mornings
The Wells and Mendip Museum, in the old Chancellors’ House beside the cathedral, was founded by Herbert Balch in 1893 and displays Mendip fossils and a skeleton from Wookey Hole. If your relative likes a quiet gallery, the carer goes at an unhurried pace.
Safe Steps at Home
Staircases, thresholds and the bath are where the carer stays closest. Worn rugs are lifted and cables tidied, and the family is told early if part of the house is becoming a risk.

Why Wells Families Pick NeeryVille Care
While looking at what turns up for live-in care around Wells, we found one national provider whose Somerset page lists Wells among a dozen towns yet shows no price and no hospital, another whose page offers a weekly rate but links no council, and a directory of twenty-three listings in which only some show a figure. Ours names the hospital, links the council and the local dementia page, states a daily figure and sends one employed carer to live with your relative. Here is why Wells families choose us.
Someone who knows them
A carer who has learned which chair is theirs and what time the church bells ring becomes part of the house. After a few weeks your relative is known as a person, not as a job.
Our same-carer approach is built around this, and for people living with dementia one recognisable face can make an anxious evening far easier.
Leave within 14 days at no cost
Should the arrangement feel wrong at any point in the first 14 days, it can stop at once, with no notice period and no charge.
This is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a family in Wells can try live-in care without being tied to it.
Carers on our own payroll
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Our carers are our own employees, trained and supervised by us rather than self-employed names on a list. You are welcome to read our registration on the CQC website.
Guided by clinicians
All placements work inside a clinical governance framework overseen by experienced clinicians, so care for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or the weeks after a stroke stays steady.
At your door in a day or two
A ward can need its bed again within hours, and a stay at the Royal United Hospital in Bath may end sooner than the family expects. After we have met, a matched carer is usually at the house within 24 to 48 hours, so round-the-clock care in Wells is ready before your relative comes in. Tell us the date as soon as you hear it and we will plan the first night with you.
Run by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia expertise, and he oversees every placement himself. When you call, you speak to him or a member of the care team.

When Is a Live-In Carer Right for Your Relative in Wells?
Very rarely is it one moment that decides things. A live-in carer is worth considering when help is needed through the night as well as the day, and your relative is set on staying at home.
Picture a widow of eighty-three who has lived in the same house near the cathedral since the 1970s. She goes to the shops on a wet October afternoon, catches her foot on a loose stone and sits on the pavement until a passer-by finds her. After a stay at the Royal United Hospital she comes home frightened of the front step. A carer living with her would have been beside her on that walk. Speak to us before a fall rather than afterwards.
At our first meeting we ask about the routes she walked for years, and the care plan is built around what she says.
If you are the son or daughter who has driven down every weekend and slept badly in between, live-in respite care in Wells gives you a rest for a few days or a few weeks while the same steady carer takes over. Ring us to discuss dates.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Wells
Our live-in carers in Wells support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in Wells, the villages beneath the Mendip Hills and the countryside nearby.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Staying Side by Side: Couples in Wells
Imagine a couple who met in the cathedral choir and have shared one bay window for fifty years. She still plays the piano but her hands shake with Parkinson’s disease, and he has begun to forget names and appointments. Neither of them can bear the idea of separate rooms in separate homes.
A live-in carer can help her with dressing and tablets, remind him of the day ahead, cook for them both and walk with them to the Green when the weather is kind. Ring us and we will describe how a single placement could support them both.

Why Wells Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has lived within earshot of the cathedral bells for decades, live-in care in Wells lets them keep their own front door, their own view and the sound of the hours being struck.
The city grew around three holy wells and a minster founded in 704, with the cathedral consecrated in 1239 and the Vicars’ Close begun in 1348. To go on watching that history from your own window means a great deal to many older people.
At home, your relative sleeps in their own bed, finds the mugs where they have always been and follows their own clock. One carer moves in and learns the small habits, so the same person helps at breakfast and again at bedtime, and a couple can stay together with one carer looking after both.
Steps, stone paving and the long road to a hospital can wear a person out, and when a stay in hospital ends, the same carer can be waiting at home to help with the stairs, the shopping and gentle walks.
To discuss what might suit your family, call us on 0208 129 5854. Ask anything you like, and there is no obligation.
Live-In Care in Wells: One Daily Figure, £190
You should not have to search for the price, so it is set out here.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Wells starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Following the free assessment, the exact amount is given to you in writing before you agree to go ahead.
What the Daily Rate Covers
A week in Wells could include a stroll on Cathedral Green on Monday, a look at the moat and its gardens at the Bishop’s Palace on Wednesday and Evensong on Sunday. The daily rate covers a carer who lives in your relative’s home and is on hand if they call in the night, who helps with washing and dressing, prepares proper meals, gives medicines and records each dose, steadies the stairs and goes along to appointments.
Some needs call for more detail, such as dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation, and we give a price for those after speaking to you. Tell us what is happening and we will answer plainly.
Paying for Care at Home in Wells
Somerset Council says that if a care need significantly affects someone’s wellbeing, a member of its Adult Social Care Team can talk it over in what it calls a Care and Support Assessment, and its website has an online form for requesting help for yourself or someone else. The NHS also explains that NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of care funded entirely by the health service, and the first step is a checklist.
Somerset Council keeps its adult social care information on its website, and you can use the online referral form whenever you wish. This is offered for information only, and it does not need to be your first step.
Age UK Somerset runs an information and guidance line on 01823 345613, Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm, for people aged 60 and over and their families, and its separate Advice Services team carries out benefit checks. For worries about memory, the Somerset Council dementia support page points to the Alzheimer’s Society, Dementia Friends and a Health Connections Mendip directory of local sessions.
Care can start while applications are still being looked at, so you need not wait for a decision.

From Hello to Handover in Wells:
For many families the hardest part is dialling the number. After that it comes down to four simple stages.
01
Pick up the phone
Nothing has to be prepared before you ring.
Call 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or a colleague on the care team will answer.
Describe how things stand at home and we will explain the possibilities, with no forms to fill and no sales pressure.
We start live-in care for families every week, and we know that first call is never easy.
03
We learn their story
We ask what Wells has meant to your relative. It could be a Saturday at the cheese market, a Sunday of bell-ringing, or a childhood of cycling out to the Mendip Hills for a picnic.
Every detail goes into the care plan, and the carer brings it up when it will be welcome. Telephone us when you feel ready.
We pick the right carer
Skills are matched to medical needs and manner to personality, so that the newcomer fits the house.
Rely on the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee while you see how the first two weeks go.
02
04
The carer moves in
The carer normally turns up a day or two after our meeting, or earlier if a hospital has set a date.
If your relative is still on a ward at the Royal United Hospital, we time the carer’s first day around the ward.
You speak to one person from the first call until everything has settled.
Call today and a carer could be at your relative’s door in a day or two. Give us the discharge date if the ward has named one, and we will work back from it.
Our Registered Care Manager comes to carry out the free assessment and rings again once the carer has moved in. Live-in care is our only business, so whoever answers knows exactly what to do.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Live-In Care in Wells: Your Questions, Answered Plainly
How much does live-in care in Wells cost?
Live-in care from NeeryVille Care in Wells costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, and nothing is added later. After the free assessment you receive the exact figure in writing before you decide to proceed.
How quickly can live-in care start in Wells?
Typically a carer arrives within a day or two of our meeting, even if the first call is made from a ward at the Royal United Hospital. One call begins everything.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. Staying among familiar furniture with one regular carer gives a person with dementia a face they know and a day they can predict. The Somerset Council dementia support page lists local help, and the GP is the starting point for a memory assessment.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That choice belongs to your family. At home your relative keeps their own bed, their own window and one carer who knows them, and a couple need not be separated. We go through the practical details with you before anything is agreed.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is unwell or away, a cover carer is arranged, so the home is never left without someone in it.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and you can look at our CQC provider page for the details.
Which areas of Wells do you cover?
We cover all of Wells, from the Market Place and the streets around the cathedral to the outlying roads, as well as the villages beneath the Mendip Hills.
Do you offer respite care in Wells?
Yes, we offer respite care in Wells. If you look after a parent or partner and are exhausted, a live-in carer can stay for a weekend or for several weeks while you recover.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. By the time your relative leaves hospital, whether that is the Royal United in Bath or West Mendip Community Hospital in Glastonbury, the carer can already be in the house with the heating on.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
In the first 14 days you may end the care straight away if it is not right, without notice and without a fee.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. NHS Continuing Healthcare or a Care and Support Assessment from Somerset Council may apply, and Age UK Somerset can talk through which benefits your relative might claim.
Can a live-in carer take my mother to see the swans at the Bishop’s Palace?
Yes. The moat is fed by St Andrew’s Well, and the mute swans there have been trained since the 1870s to ring bells for food. The carer can take her at a quiet time, find a seat by the water and bring her home when she has had enough.
How would a carer get my father from Wells to a hospital appointment in Bath?
Wells has had no passenger trains since Tucker Street closed in 1963, and Bath is about 22 miles away. A carer can plan the journey with him, take his medicines and notes, wait through the clinic and bring him home. Ask us how the day would work.
My husband enjoys history. Is there something he can visit nearby?
The Wells and Mendip Museum, beside the cathedral, was founded by Herbert Balch in 1893 and moved to the Chancellors’ House in 1932. The carer can accompany him, help with any steps, and let him linger in the Balch Room, which holds Mendip fossils.
