About the service Right at Home North Somerset is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to people in their own homes. The service operates within North Somerset including Weston-Super-Mare, Worle, Portishead and Clevedon. At the time of our inspection there were 69 people using the service.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
