Draft website · version 2. Kersami Care plans to open on 1 September 2027.

One-to-one support in West Somerset

Support that feels like home, from people you know

Kerry and Sami are two experienced local carers starting their own small service. We help adults live the life they want: at home, out and about, and in their community.

  • Opening 1 September 2027
  • One-to-one support
  • Seven days, 6am to 10pm

Who we help

Support for adults who want to stay independent

Everyone is different. We get to know you first, then plan support around your routines, interests and goals. We support:

  • Adults with learning disabilities
  • Autistic adults
  • Adults with physical disabilities
  • Older people who want a little help to stay at home
  • Adults with mental health needs
  • Young adults aged 18 to 25 moving towards adult life

We also support families. Knowing someone reliable is there can make a real difference.

What we do

Everyday help, done your way

Practical, friendly support that helps you get on with life. We always agree clearly what we will and won't do before we start.

Home support

Help with meals, laundry, light housework and keeping on top of things at home.

Community access and outings

Shopping, appointments, a walk on the seafront, a café, a club. Getting out and staying connected.

Life skills coaching

Building confidence with cooking, budgeting, travel and the everyday skills that make independence possible.

Work and learning

Support to find, start and keep going with work, volunteering, college or courses.

Respite and sitting

A trusted person to spend time with your loved one, so you can take a break, during the day or evening.

Medication prompts

Friendly reminders to take your medication at the right time. We prompt only; we don't give medication.

All services and boundaries

Why choose a small local service

You won't be one of hundreds

Big care companies do important work across large areas. We're doing something different. Kersami Care will support no more than eight people, all here on the West Somerset coast.

  • Always one-to-one. Your time is your time.
  • The same two faces. You'll know who is coming, and they'll know you.
  • Local people. We live here, and we know the towns, the buses and the community.
  • Flexible hours. Seven days a week, from 6am to 10pm.
  • Clear and honest. Simple fees, travel included, and plain answers.

What we believe

Our values

Our aim is simple: high-quality, person-centred support that helps you keep your independence, dignity and quality of life, in the comfort and security of your own home.

Dignity

Treating you with respect in your own home, every single visit.

Empathy and understanding

Taking time to listen and understand what life is like for you.

Independence

Helping you do things yourself, not doing everything for you.

Choice

You decide how, when and where you're supported.

Consistency of care

The same familiar faces: Kerry and Sami, not a rota of strangers.
