“Our philosophy is simple; to provide a high quality service which will enable older people to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible, whilst improving their quality of life”

We strive to find out what is important to you. By understanding this, we aim to carefully match a Care Professional to each client and it is always a great comfort to an older person to know exactly who is coming and exactly when their Care Professional will arrive. Our Care Professionals are able to provide a range of services which can include companionship, home help such as shopping and cleaning, medication reminders, meal preparation, local transportation to social events or appointments, respite care and a full range of personal care services. Home Instead provides a specialist service for people who have Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Service can be provided from as little as a couple of hours a week up to 24 hours a day. The strength of Home Instead lies with our unique group of Care Professionals. We are particularly proud of the standard of service they provide and the dedication and commitment shown to our clients. Home Instead clients come to us in many ways. Some people come to us themselves; others are introduced by their children or relatives and some clients are referred to us by Social Services and the NHS. Regardless of how you come to Home Instead, it is our goal to provide the same exceptional level of care. Whether you are interested in discussing your specific care at home needs or joining us as a Care Professional, please give us a call on 01823 211121. We will be pleased to visit you at home to talk through how we can help or alternatively you are more than welcome to pay us a visit at our office in Taunton for a cup of tea and a chat.

🎅 Be A Santa 2025 — Bringing Joy to Our Community

It’s that time of year again when we at Home Instead Taunton and West Somerset launch our annual Christmas gift-giving campaign, Be A Santa 2025. This heartfelt initiative brings joy to older members of our community—especially those who may not receive a gift during the festive season or may be spending Christmas away from family and friends.

Through Be A Santa, we collect gifts from our wonderful local community and distribute them to older people who could use a little extra cheer. Last year, thanks to your generosity, we supported Wellsprings Community Church, ARC (Taunton Association for the Homeless), and Diversity Voice UK. This year, we’re hoping to reach even more individuals and share even more smiles.

✨ New for 2025: Online Donations Available!
If you can’t make it to a collection point, you can still Be A Santa—simply donate online. Just scan the QR code or visit this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/9Y5CCELKPVFH?ref_=wl_share to contribute from anywhere.

📍 Gift Drop-Off Location
You can drop gifts off at our office in the Comeytrowe Community Centre, TA1 4TY.

📦 More Collection Points Coming Soon
We’ll be announcing additional drop-off locations shortly, so keep an eye on our updates to see how you can get involved and help us spread joy throughout the season.

In the meantime, visit our blog to look back at last year’s success and discover how your support helped brighten the festive season for older adults: https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/taunton-west-somerset/blog/be-a-santa-2024-spreading-joy-and-warmth-this-holiday-season/

Remember, Remember…. Safety this Bonfire Night in Taunton and West Somerset.
As fireworks light up the sky tonight, the noise and cold can cause unexpected distress for many older people in our community.
This year, help keep your loved ones comfortable and secure by taking these simple steps:

✅ Muffle the noise: Close windows and draw curtains before it gets dark to minimise the startling bangs and flashes
✅Stay warm: Ensure warm clothes are layered up, and hot, comfortable drinks are on hand
✅Offer comfort: Provide reassuring company or a distracting activity if the noise causes anxiety, especially for those with dementia.
We're here to offer long term support that provides safety and peace of mind all winter long.

Planning for winter peace of mind? Contact Home Instead Taunton and West Somerset this week to discuss a consistent, safe care routine. Call 01823211121 or visit https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/taunton-west-somerset/
