About Sunnymeade
Residential care in Chard, Somerset, is the focus of Sunnymeade, which supports older people in a care-home setting. Agincare’s wider network covers nursing, home care, live-in care and supported living, but Sunnymeade itself is identified as a residential care home.
Care advisers can discuss the level of help required, with care plans based on individual needs, preferences and routines. The wider organisation also offers a short-term Smart Start trial for home or live-in care. For families comparing local settings, residential care in Chard is the most relevant starting point when considering Sunnymeade.

Questions families ask
Do they provide emergency care for urgent situations?
Yes. Emergency care is available for urgent situations, and care can sometimes be arranged within 24 hours depending on needs and location.
Can someone try care before choosing a longer-term option?
Yes. Smart Start offers a short-term trial of home care or live-in care lasting two to four weeks, without a commitment.
What types of care can they provide at home?
They provide personal care, companionship, dementia care, respite care, overnight support and live-in care, tailored to individual needs and preferences.
What happens if a regular carer is unavailable?
They arrange replacement carers when a regular carer is sick or on holiday, providing continuity without the family organising cover.
How much does Sunnymeade cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sunnymeade 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.
