Night-time support includes waking night or sleep-in services, complemented by monitoring technology for safety. Bedrooms feature en-suite facilities, ceiling track hoists and accessible bathrooms.
Our homes also offer advanced assistive technology, including epilepsy sensors, sensory experiences like our magic carpet, and interactive touch tables.
Short Breaks for Families
We know how important it is to take a break. Our short breaks (respite care) give families time to rest while ensuring loved ones receive high-quality care. Stays can be for days or weeks, regularly or as a one-off—even at short notice.
Guests enjoy tailored support, new experiences, and social opportunities, making every stay positive and enriching.
Our short breaks (respite care) are delivered by skilled, caring staff committed to making every stay positive and enjoyable.
Support is tailored to your needs and goals, whether you require high-level care or just a short stay. Enjoy new experiences, meet people, and take part in a variety of activities.
Before your visit, we’ll work with you and your family to ensure we understand exactly what you want from your break.
For the first time we can go away knowing our loved one is cared for, so no more sleepless nights.

Support at Home
Prefer care at home? Our team can provide continuity of support, assist with holidays or activities, and step in if a family carer becomes ill—giving you flexibility and peace of mind.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After a hospital stay or health setback, a short break can help rebuild independence and life skills, supporting recovery in a safe, structured environment.
Who We Support
If you or your loved one is an adult with learning disabilities or autism living in Somerset, we can help—whether through a commissioned service, personal budget, or private funding. We also support individuals with complex needs, including dysphagia, epilepsy, or behaviours of distress.
Our approach is person-centred, focusing on abilities, skills, and ambitions while respecting dignity, privacy, and cultural preferences.
