How this list is ordered

Homes in Somerset are ordered by the MyCareCheck score, the average of the CQC's ratings for the five questions it asks at every inspection. Where two homes score the same, the better overall rating goes first.

Paying never changes a home's rating, score or place. Top places are only offered to homes rated Good or Outstanding and are always labelled.

Questions families ask

What should mental health care homes offer?

Residential mental health support varies widely in intensity and approach. Confirm that the home’s staff, environment and external clinical relationships match the person’s diagnosis, risks and recovery goals.

How many mental health care homes are there in Somerset?

42 mental health care homes in Somerset are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Somerset?

Somerset council paid on average £1,135 a week for residential care and £1,082 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £1,797 and £1,332. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
