Questions families ask
Can Dunster Lodge provide care at home instead of residential care?
Yes. Their approved and qualified carers can support people in their own homes, from occasional help such as a lift to bingo to daily home care.
Can residents bring pets to Dunster Lodge?
Yes. Dunster Lodge accepts well-behaved pets in its residential care home.
Will the same carers support someone at Dunster Lodge?
They aim to provide continuity of care by using the same regular staff, helping carers and clients get to know each other and notice changes in wellbeing.
What does Dunster Lodge home care include?
Home care can include getting dressed, taking medication, cooking, cleaning, shopping and transport to appointments or social events.
How much does Dunster Lodge Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dunster Lodge Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Somerset council paid on average £1,135 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
