Understand your care options
Home Care in Frome
Choosing care in Frome can involve several decisions at once. Selwood Care helps you consider visiting care, live-in support and support for more complex needs, so the arrangement is shaped around life at home rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Visiting care or live-in care?
Think about when support is needed, rather than starting with a service label. If help is mainly required at particular points in the day, domiciliary care visits may be worth exploring. If having a carer living at home would better support day-to-day life, discuss live-in care with us.
Also consider companionship, privacy, the home environment and how much help family members can realistically provide. Live-in care involves someone sharing the home, so routines, personal preferences and suitable accommodation form part of the conversation. More complex needs require a careful assessment of the support involved.
Before you contact us
- At which times is support most important?
- Would a carer living at home suit your preferences?
- What support is already in place?
Your first enquiry is a chance to explain your situation and ask questions. We will talk through the next steps with you.

Questions about care in Frome
Do you provide both visiting and live-in care in Frome?
Frome is within our service area. We can discuss domiciliary, live-in and complex care, subject to assessment and availability.
Does live-in care mean a carer is awake around the clock?
Live-in care is not the same as continuous waking support. Tell us about any overnight needs so we can discuss the right arrangement.
Can we compare the options before deciding?
Yes. We can explain the proposed support and costs so you can consider which arrangement best meets your needs.
